Hello Wordpress

Remember when changing CMS was news? Got fed up with Movable Type (most notably the lack of new themes/styles and its slowness on my host), so it's time to get fed up with Wordpress again. The problem I have with Wordpress is that I don't know it well enough to be ...

Always on

Thanks to Hg for alerting me to the new Action Stream plugin for Movable Type, enabling you to aggregate your virtual presence around the web. In the left hand side you'll find list of recent updates. Unfortunately, the styling looks a bit pants on MSIE. If you don't see icons ...

Mother superior jump the gun

My answer to everything this week: "Whatever",  "Be like that." and "f.o.a.d." I am sick of fandoms, running websites, answering rude and stupid e-mail, moderating, mediating and I'm in full on misanthrope mode. It may be time I kicked it all in the head. Meanwhile, Dreamhost is moaning about my CPU usage and they've ...

Version 3.121 in da house

Have upgraded MT. Testing, testing.

Field of depth on hold

I am still having problems with Field of depth. For some reason, I no longer have ownership of the files created by MT. All permissions are hosed, I can't even delete them via FTP or telnet. I am going to have to rebuild the site at Pair.com. As for now, ...

Registration across the nation
