I'm about to update my weblog URLs to be identified with a date and a name instead of an ID. I've written a quick script that'll take every post that currently has a title and update it so that it has a name too. The problem is that I'm losing my nice short URLs like this:
http://www.keithdevens.com/weblog/3891
and winding up with post URLs that look like:
http://www.keithdevens.com/weblog/archive/2003/May/15/ExplanationOf...
TheRemainingProblemWithMyStructuredTextParser
Which is just far too long. Though, that should only be for old posts. If I were naming that manually, I'd name it something like:
http://www.keithdevens.com/weblog/archive/2003/May/15/StParserProblem
However, numbers will continue to work like so:

What do you think?
