Before there were spinsters, now there are quirkyalones. "We are a sociable people". Emily Dickenson was quirky and alone, but not a quirkyalone.

I am, perhaps, what you might call . . . deeply single. Almost never ever in a relationship. Until recently, I wondered if there might be something weird about me. But then,

Fallacies of reasoning or logical fallacies. I loved studying those in college. I wish I could remember them.

 Setting up a J2EE Weblog

My boss wants me to set up a intranet developer's portal type of thing at work. The word 'weblog' is too radical for him, so I am going to set up a weblog but call it something else.

We already have a Jetty server, so I think a free Java blogging package would be the easiest to set up. I found blojsom and CocoBlog. This is my experience so far:

• First I tried blojsom.
• it's very lightweight
• installation was easy
• did not come with any examples, how to I make a first post?
• do I post in a text editor, then save it in the year and month that the post was on?
  
• Next was the CocoBlog from Be Blogging 
• setup was easy
• not as lightweight, required Apache Xindice 
• the first posting form was built in
• the first post threw some 'Connection refused' exception.

I would like to get both running to the point of displaying posts and do a real comparison. For blojsom, I need to figure out how to post and where to store the posts. For CocoBlog I need to experiment with the Xindice examples and also get a basic understanding of Cocoon in order to decipher the exceptions that are being thrown.
