Greymatter.
I’d totally forgotten about this old blogging platform. My old blog from the early 2000s was on it.
Greymatter (software)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greymatter is a free and open source blogging software, originally created by Noah Grey in November 2000. It was “the original opensource weblogging software.”[1] Noah Grey stopped maintaining it around 2002. Since then, it has been maintained by the community of users. It is one of the first software packages created for blogging, and had a large cadre of users (and indeed, there are still are many out there). With the creation of WordPress and Google’s Blogspot, its users have declined since 2005, but it is still in use.
Greymatter requires no database; its only requirement is Perl support on a webserver. It features robust options and extensibility, with a focus on customization and user control. Its current version is 1.8.2.[2]
Inside Forbes: The 5 Real-Time Screens That Help Us Run The New Newsroom
Our dramatic newsroom transformation began nearly two years ago. To start, we changed roles and responsibilities for nearly everyone. Next, we added producer and audience development teams. After that, we inserted a layer of real-time data analytics into nearly everything we do. We even took the heretical step of moving a representative from the Digital Ad Products group into the heart of The News Newsroom. In our latest move, we once and for all put an end to the journalistic caste system by deploying a piece of community software. Now, the morning news meeting never really starts or ends because it’s ongoing. Nearly staffer can dive in at will with ideas and thoughts at any time. We’ve even started to put the newsroom software in the hands of non-staff contributors access. After all, they’ve go ideas, too.
Why Warren Buffett is buying newspapers — PaidContent.org
The Oracle of Omaha acquired his hometown newspaper in January and just snapped up dozens more in a $142 million deal. This is supposed to be the fastest declining industry in America. What is Warren Buffett up to?
Hello again, world.
Well my resignation from Posterous lasted two months. This is still the best way to blog. I guess I’ll figure out what to do with my domain when Twitter decides what to do with Posterous. Perhaps they’ll leave us Posterii alone and allow us to live out the rest of our lives in peace, like Facebook did for FriendFeeders. Anyway, I’m back till they turn on the lights and kick us out.
Their names.
Death warrants for 303 convicted Sioux prisoners were sent to Lincoln by Minnesota Governor Ramsey, who said that unless the government executed those Sioux, private citizens likely would. Lincoln went through and signed only those for prisoners who had committed murder and rape against civilians, commuting the death sentences of 264 of the prisoners. One additional prisoner was granted a reprieve, and the resulting hanging of 38 Sioux remains the largest mass execution in American history.

Description for Building Minnesota (1990):
Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds’ BUILDING MINNESOTA was on view on the West River Parkway in Minneapolis between the Third Avenue Bridge and Portland Avenue in conjunction with CLAIM YOUR COLOR (March 4-May 9, 1990), an exhibition at the Walker Art Center featuring the artist’s work. In his site-specific public work, Heap of Birds appropriates official signage and uses his own words to remind viewers of the lost history of that place. Each of the 38 signs that comprise BUILDING MINNESOTA recognizes a member of the Dakota tribe who was hanged at the end of the United States-Dakota Conflict of 1862. Heap of Birds chose this location for a number of reasons — here the Mississippi River is both blocked from access by a chain link fence and harnessed to create power for a number of nearby grain processing mills. He felt this location represented changes of the river from a spiritual and life-giving resource for the Dakota people to a place associated with the economics of trade managed by the white settlers who named this stretch of the river’s bank “The Grain Belt.”
As the land along the Parkway is owned by the Minneapolis Park Board, this commission demanded close cooperation between the City Council and the Walker. The Park Board donated the signs and the labor, and the Walker arranged for young adults to help the artist place the signs. In the commissioning contract, the artist retained the copyright to the commission and ownership of one complete set of signs (two sets were made in case of theft, vandalism, or loss) and the Walker reserved three signs for its permanent collection. While CLAIM YOUR COLOR came down in early May 1990, the Minneapolis Park Board agreed to keep BUILDING MINNESOTA on site through the first week of September.
