Backdating entries in Blosxom

Blosxom stores everything in Unix files, which is a nice simple system and makes it easy to edit. The date for each entry is just taken from the file's modification time.

The only catch is that any edited entries are moved forward to the current day.

Fortunately there is a good fix for this in the GNU touch -d command, which can set the file's time to any arbitrary point in the past or future.

The other thing I did was just put this line into the Blosxom configuration, because the noisehavoc host is not in Canberra (by a long way.)

$ENV{'TZ'} = 'Australia/Canberra';
