The Mortensen blog – the early years

Here is an index of all my blog posts, going back to 2010. Yes, this is meta talk. If you are not interested in this, wait for an upcoming blog post or pick a blog post from the list here. The following is an index of my blog, especially the old one on Blogger (domain name pvm-professionalengineering.blogspot.com).

The idea is that it is much easier to find older blog posts if their titles are all on a single page.

The making of this list

For the old blog, the publication dates, titles, and URLs for the 53 blog posts were captured by manually opening each blog post in the admin interface and copy-pasting the information from its edit view page. A Perl one-liner was used to transform the captured information in a text file to table rows HTML content for inclusion here.

For the new blog, an SQL query on the WordPress database and an export of the query result was done using the phpMyAdmin interface on the hosting site. The SQL query ordered the blog posts in reverse chronological order:

SELECT post_date, post_title, concat('https://pmortensen.eu/world2/', post_name) FROM world2_wp_posts WHERE post_status='publish' and post_type='post' ORDER BY post_date DESC;

A Perl one-liner was used to transform the exported information (in MediaWiki table format) to table rows HTML content for inclusion here.
