I'm starting to get to my "to-do" list for Tabulas that's a few months old (finally). This past week, I started working on pingback functionality inside Tabulas; it required an update script (which took about 3 full days to run, sheesh!).

Unfortunately, the data was bad, so I had to trash it all. I'm also thinking of refactoring the code; currently it treats both pingbacks and internal pingbacks (I bypass the XML-RPC pingback if I detect it as an internal resource) as different codepaths, but there might not be a reason I have to do. Oh, the joys of refactoring!

I've also continued with the database cleanups - looks like my work from last week has settled (not too many issues reported). I'm almost done with all the database cleanups, so I'll be able to remove a huge abstraction layer (that was causing some slowness) soon.

Hopefully I'll find some time this week to hack through the pingback feature - I think it's really cool (the early version was pretty useful!).
