My Radio discussion group FAQ weblog is slowly spinning up. I need to figure out how to make a good index for it... Actually, Kymberlie McGuire asked how to use CatEntries to make a categorized index for her book blog, but the way CatEntries is implemented now (it tries to load all the entries at once, so it can make sure it has the lastn you requested, as well as just calling out to the actual MT code that handles the Entries tag), it's much, much too much work to build the pages.
So I guess I'll look into that when I find the chance; today is for the 510 Programming Languages project, and I also have the Operations Management paper to do yet, so it probably won't be for a while, alas and alack. CatEntries could do a one-by-one loop like the Entries handler does, but then I can't call the Entries handler anymore, can I? Maybe I can, but I don't think so, and it's probably be more overhead than I ought to use. I'll probably end up doing the typical anemic looping thing that entry-displaying plugins do (except I moved to because someone complained I hadn't made MTDateHeader work... bleh).
I didn't agree when I read someone's comment that Movable Type is bad for having plugins but not being open source, but being stuck with this situation I can understand the sentiment.
