Fiddle dee dee she said, tossing her curls, the comments are the least of my problems. Thank you to the reader who reported that FRL is not readable through Bloglines. On investigation, I finally saw why comments don’t work: because none of my individual archive entries work any more. I have several questions in to […]
(And who doesn’t like Didion?) I’m testing a few features for MT 3.14 and musing over the changes between the old templates and the new ones. “Testing,” in this case, meaning tweaking the same one-line cron code until my hair falls out. “Musing,” in this case, meaning disciplining myself to read the old and new […]
It’s 9:53 and I’ll schedule this for 10 p.m. (that’s 2200 hours for you military types); I’ll go grab a glass of Anchor Steam Porter and come back. I found that the permissions for cron might not have been as they should have. Let’s see. Bookmark to:
(Actually, it’s a discrepancy between old templates and a new installation–one reason I like to blow away the blog and start over again. But maybe it’s time to see if I can modify the templates without taking such a drastic step, even though I’ve determined that my backup works fine.) Comments aren’t working yet; you’ll […]
I upgraded to MT 3.14. All is well. I have more work to do, but the scary part is over! Bookmark to:
I’m upgrading to Movable Type 3.14. I’ve printed out the documentation, backed up the data, and made a fresh cup of herbal tea. It’s time to upgrade. Onward and upward. If this blog doesn’t have new entries by tomorrow, something went terribly wrong, and I’ll post information to LISNews. If things go terribly right, the […]
Post-party, I spent the last two nights lying on the couch finishing Fabulous Small Jews, a great collection of short stories by Joseph Epstein, and then moved through Best American Essays for 2002, only to find out today that I have been rewarded for my sloth: Six Apart has issued a release for Movable Type […]
I’ve been busy baking for today’s party for church parishioners (body count: conservatively, ten pounds of butter, ten pounds of flour, five pounds of nuts, and for the first time in my life I’ve used up a can of baking powder in less than a month), but in “Your Blog or Mine,” an article in […]
Lipstick Librarian gets it right; librarians can be so forest for the trees! Correcting someone in a private email discussion is the equivalent of someone who leans over to pick a piece of lint off your clothing while you’re talking; it’s snotty passive-aggressive behavior, right up there with Jonathan Franzen complaining about being selected by […]
Mark Rosensweig and I are on ALA Council together. Once in a while our planets align on an issue. I won’t say that I agree with Mark word for word on Google Print, but he has articulated some concerns percolating in the back of my head. (See also a brief note from Anil Dash.) The […]
