carlfoxmartenSheesh, you'd think I'd learn...
As I'm currently storing my bookmarks in several locations (one page per computer, a small number of links in the browser, and a fair number in a central insecure location), I figured I should try to merge some of them together so I can manage them a little better.
(before you try to get me to use an online service, remember that I like over engineering stuff and prefer stuff I write over stuff others have written)
So, my first homepage (at least, that's how I used it) was called New Links (technically a second-generation system for parsing up an XML file full of links, and it is this system that's spread across several computers), a centrally-located, insecure link storage system that allows me to view "feeds" of links as webpages or RSS feeds.
I plan on being able to search for links by given them tags, so I'm calling this revision Link Tags.
It will allow me to store Entries (containing at least one URL/name combination and a description. For example: A webcomic and its forum get one Entry), give them Tags (such as 'webcomic', 'search', 'art', and so on), search by tags, as well as arranging them in Pages in a similar manner to how I'm doing it right now with my decentralized system.
I will also be able to view RSS or ATOM feeds of tag searches or pages, thus containing all the features of both New Links and Link Feeds.
I'm writing it in PHP v5, and using SQLite 3 to store all the data.
I've used PHP v5 before (it's a vast step up from v4), and I'm quite familiar with SQLite 2, so I thought I'd see just how different v3 was.
So far, I have some of the code for talking to the database (I like writing wrappers around my data storage so I can easily reference it later), and am currently working on how the pages will look.
After I have the basic look of the pages down, I'll start filling in the code to interrogate the DB and fill the pages with data, as well as the code to insert new Links, Pages, etc. into the DB for later viewing.
Anyway, it should be pretty cool once I finish it, and I'll try to ensure that it's at least partially secure.
If I get it partially secured, I'll consider letting other people see it (by request only, and please don't post the link to any public space if you get it).
(if I get it reasonably secure, I'll even consider posting it up here, but that's a very big if)
