2013-03-20 Came across OpenID. That sounds good. The concept is simple, thus it should be easy to run a simple OpenID server on my own host. In fact, it is not. The implementations are large and require un- necessary modern web stuff. I had a look at Clamshell (150 lines of PHP) [0] and SimpleID (4200 lines of PHP) [1]. Clamshell is of the size I search for. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a server running. It should be easy and simple, but it is not. I haven't dug deep enough into the details to identify the source of the problem, be it the protocol or the implementions or the client websites. Alternatives to doodle.com are: [2] and (more important) dudle [3]. The shell script which I use to write these lue entries invokes vi as editor. It is convenient to have line wrapping enabled when writing prose, but it is inconvenient when writing code. Thus my exrc does not set `wrapmargin'. Yet, in my lue script, I invoke vi as such: vi +'set wm=10|$' This sets `wrapmargin' to 10 chars and puts the cursor on the last line. The pipe symbol acts like a newline character to separate two commands. Good to know that!
