Geez, you spend a little bit of effort upgrading the blog, switching architectures, updating images, importing some 18 years of blog posts … and you’re accused of not blogging for over a year. A guy can’t win. Seriously, though, the age of open-sourced Movable Type is over. It’s either pay five hundred bucks a year, […]
This reCAPTCHA code is getting harder and harder to fill in. Found this in my comments section. So …. does it want me to solve for x?
Trying to restore the backup database again. Looks like it might have been a mysql issue. A little unforseen maintenance and one broken RAID controller later, we’re back online. Lost a few days, though, and for some reason, the ZuckerBlog page appeared to be publishing from the MissingLinks page as well. In fact, all the […]
Found another probem with the Post Office plugin for Movable Type: you can’t include any kind of punctuation characters in the subject line of your email message/entry title, otherwise it will munge the image file name that goes along with it.

This is pretty useful, especially when you’re hacking your way around a new 4.2 installation, after having completely customized your old 3.x Movable Type. How To Change the Default Image Upload Location in Movable Type 4.0 Since there isn’t an option within the Movable Type user interface to make the file upload utility remember that […]
Having the worst time with stylesheets today. I don’t know what I did, but I did some adjustments while fine-tuning the new blog layout, and I made a mess of the whole thing. Well, only on Opera and Firefox; IE seems to think everything’s fine. I’m using the Movable Type wtt (wide, thin, thin) column […]
