Avi's Buttons
Once upon a time, Apple unleashed a technote of unparalleled arrogance and stupidity: Technote 2034. Not content with just posting my reply to mailing lists and filing it as a bug in Radar (closed as duplicate), I decided to hand out buttons at WWDC in protest.
So I got a button press.
You've probably seen the hand-press makers with the cheesy plastic rings in which it takes a minute to wrangle out a button. But I had funds (this was before I bought my house) and so I bought a stainless-steel press, capable of making professional quality buttons.
I've always intended to put my buttons online, and in fact, even my very first buttons had a sticker on their back with a website address. But it's been a blank page with an "under construction" notice for years.
It's being written up in a blog format, very informally. (In fact, I'm using blog software, Blosxom. I'd use Movable Type, with which I'm much more familiar, except that this is a commercial endeavor, and I can't afford a license for it.)
Now, I'm not planning to make any money selling individual buttons. But this is just my way to let other people share in my fun.

I did try it at http://www.opensourcecms.com/. Two things: one, it's massive overkill, and two, I couldn't see how to get it to configure entry permalinks based on their hierarchical categorization.

You can configure permalinks with a .htaccess file, mod_rewrite style, really simple.
