I’m committed now to using Burble for two sites. I’m about halfway through refactoring to make this possible, and I’ve discovered that my choice of framework is making this a tedious chore.
Colubrid is by the authors’ own admission based on a misapprehension about how best to use WSGI, and they recommend that you use Werkzeug now instead. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise this when I started using it.
The fundamental problem is that various important thingies are set up and torn down with each request, and various things done after instantiation, such that your init methods break. So I am forced to cut and paste where inheritance would be better, or monkeypatch.
So my very next thing to do is get off Colubrid. It would be top of the list now, but I really am desperate to get vital.org.nz off Blosxom and on to Burble. I just like my own blogging tool so much more.

Tweaked css so the top paragraph didn’t butt up against its containing div.
Sessions are now persisted in dbm instead of memory, and are properly disposed of after.
Started thinking about how to abandon Colubrid, which appears to be abandonware now, and whip up a micro-framework myself.
