Installing PostgreSQL on my web hosting account was simple enough. Lost time getting PHP’s Postgre extension to work, turned out that I was enabling the Windows version, not the Unix one. Whoopsie.
Got the database created, tables populated, PHP scripts modified for their new home…
I think that I’m burnt out for tonight. In the morning I’ll enable Trackback for this weblog and see how things go.
Still to be done: Completing the XML-RPC API, documentation, UI for account / weblog / *back management.
Also need to look into the Pingback to Trackback proxies. Directly forwarding Pingbacks to Trackback is lame, it would be better to send them to a proxy that will attempt to re-create Trackback’s metadata.
PS: Visio rocks for building database models.
