BBcom Gets Hacked Again !!!

Oct 11 2025

... but this time in a good way. The long winding road [ I had no idea of how long and winding ] from PHP-based content management systems to Python and much simpler site development and probably better site security - for example, the 'database' [ SQLite ] can be locked-down with read-only permissions.

The direction at the moment is something like a tiny CGI-based blog/wiki implemented in Python, suitable for running on shared hosting in the /cgi-bin directory, a location relegated to the bad boy applications.

The result should be a small, quick CGI blog/wiki app and a small, even quicker WSGI blog/wiki app. If fact, maybe rather than battling PHP, work on finding Python hosting somewhere, PythonAnywhere perhaps.

Still a lot to do ...



What This Site Is About ?

A Secure Python-Based Content Management Sysyem ?

Reorganizing Old Business Rules Content ?

This site is about a small, secure Python Content Management Sysyem, for sure, but reorganizing old content probably isn't worth the effort.

Ten years ago, bb.com was about simple implementations of rule engines to solving everyday problems, but now I think I have a small, quick Event-Condition-Action engine ( ECA ) engine to work with, so what dwell on implementations of rule engines. Dwell on how to use rule engines instead.

So, this site is about using the IOEngine to create transaction and monitor logic engines to drive workfows or whatever

In past years, the emphasis was on applications that were both powerful enough and simple enough for a detail-oriented, but non-technical business person to solve everyday problems encountered in knowledge-intensive tasks. That still seems to be the focus of my efforts, but much more techically oriented - for rule analyst only !

The upshot is that this site seems to be about restructuring and reworking the old BBcom content into a new Python-based site, with general business rule postings ( HTML ) going to this "home" site and the more technical ECA engine principles and design stuff ( wiki markup ) going to https://billbreitmayer.com/cgi-bin/home> general technolgy and CMS platform stuff going into the wiki, all within the same CMS framework

Site Status and Info

Plans for the Future
Information about and status of sites for BBcom. Most of these will be migrated from the old PHP systems to the new Python site.

 Plans for future development, emphasising security and defensive tactics against cross-site scripting, SQL insertion and all the rest of it.
