Flutterby™! : Genehack's tab dump

Two stolen from Genehack:

• Blog Or Get Off The Pot is a thought inducing rant that, if I had more time to play with the Flutterby CMS would instantly result in a whole bunch of new features.
• SQL::Shell is a solution to all those times when your Perl libraries point somewhere other than your system SQLite libraries (I'm lookin' at you, Apple!).

Okay, three, because I'm seriously considering switching hosting before other circumstances make a hosting switch happen to me. Nothing certain, but...:

• Dreamhost and Google Jabber chat interop info.

And yes, that means that I've alas been dragged down the evil path that is chat. Unfortunately all chat clients appear to only interop the wrong way. What I really want is a chat module for Perl that'll let me automagically archive everything from specific users, that'll alert me to new messages only in specific group chats (ie: I follow the rat boys game coordination chat mostly to stay hip with what kids these days are up to, but I don't need it beeping at 1AM if I forget to close the lid on my laptop), and that won't, after some period of use, forget to alert me altogether (I'm lookin' at you, Apple).
