Sidebar variables

I did things the ugly brute-force way and forked off a copy of the GNDT

. The time travel variables may be found under the first GNDT—the password for the ‘variables’ account is ‘ttv’. Any admin may edit the config file with the old password.

I understand that Kevan’s code can support many pages from the same script, so I’ll eventually merge the two back together when I get around to it.

Okay, I have the Variables GNDT running out of generic.cgi. There’s still some wonkiness with edit.cgi that I don’t follow, but things seem to work so far—tell me if they don’t.

Aha, so you did mean that, I’d forgotten it was easy to set up a second GNDT, and hadn’t thought of running one with just one user and variables. Interesting.

I’ve also forgotten the password for the server, but it should be pretty simple to set up a second GNDT - just copy blog.dat and blog.log to blog2.dat and blog2.log, and change the <iframe> link to use “nomic=blog2”. I don’t know if the select-a-nomic bit of the admin page was commented out or deleted, though.
