Jeremy’s Weekly Strip completes its first year
Jeremy’s completed the first year of her Weekly Strip: the first strip was Monday 2 April 2001, the 52nd will be Tuesday 2 April 2002 (which she assembled before disppearing to Amsterdam for Easter).
To mark the occasion I am belatedly overhauling the Tcl
scripts used to generate the HTML pages that form the index for
the strips. Careful readers will have noticed that the old index page had the year 2001
in its URL, despite including all the 2002 strips as well.
Basically my indexing script was all organized around generating
a single index page. I have now refactored the whole
shebang so that not only are there now per-year index pages, all
the ones for years beyond 2001 have their own directories (e.g.,
the index for 2002 is /jrd/2002/ instead of being
/jrd/tws-2002.html). There was a little jiggery-pokery
required to ensure that existing pages do not move to
different URLs (to avoid breaking any links or bookmarks other
people might have). Thus last week’s strip remains at URL
/jrd/20020326.html,
and this week’s /jrd/2002/20020402.html.
