Save your time(s) with blosxom
As some of you may have noticed, this blog runs bloxsom (link). This little Perl script uses
the mtimes of text files (the blog entries) for the chronological order
of the posts. If you are afraid of loosing the timestamps e.g. in a
backup or in a copy, you can just use the BSD command mtree
to save them into a file.
mtree -c > filename.txt
This will dump the current file specifications into a file. Use the same
command to correct the dates if needed. Nice! Try that on a linux host.
Usually they don't have mtree available - cfengine can also keep track
of filenames and dates, that might be an option, too.
