OpenID Working Again
Sunday 6 January 2013 - 11.00pm
The Journals was one of the first sites that supported OpenID logins, along with LiveJournal and the like. However, my first implementation was flawed and quickly stopped working on the majority of sites.
After a night of productive and questionable hacking, I'm very happy to announce that OpenID identity provision once again works through the Journals, so now you can use your Journals identity on sites like Stack Overflow and LiveJournal! Please let me know if you find a site that it doesn't work on
Over the next few days I'll also be making a few minor changes, mostly around the wiki, and just doing some simple cleaning on code that has been running for almost ten years now. (Anniversary on the 22nd of January!)
Over the last few days I have migrated the Journals from their old host on icdsoft.com (which I can highly recommend for small-scale web hosting), to a new service at Linode. Everything should be working - but if you find any errors, please let me know!
I've also fixed a bug where you couldn't change your password through your profile page.
Signups are once again limited to invite only. I simply don't have the time right now to give the Journals the upgrades it deserves. Once my research project is complete, though, I will rewrite the Journals! (And this time it'll include half a pony!)
If you'd like a Journal on this site, please drop me an e-mail and I'll send you an invitation code.
