Touchy Feely

I get a strange kind of satisfaction out of being (non-clinically) obsessive compulsive. For example:

  • I can't stand typos, particularly my own
  • Blosxom dates/orders blog entries by last modification date, not creation date
  • I'm a bit neurotic about having my blog entries reflect the time/date/order they were actually created
What do you do when you notice a typo in your earliest blog? (Note to self: It's spelled "blosxom" which I realized only when I got a surprisingly small number of responses from google when searching for "bloxsom" vis-a-vis "blosxom")

With the thought that I'd have to find some way to hack the blosxom source to make it do what I want, google pointed me towards a much more elegant solution: "touch -t [timestamp]" will allow me to revise the entry for typos, but maintain the original creation date. Amazing what one learns via RTFM.
