I was enjoying a Red Hook ESB and avoiding finishing the online orientation session for my new job when I wandered on to the Laughing Librarian’s blog and found this video. Beer, OUT the nose, ON the keyboard. LL, you rock my world! Bookmark to:
Working on getting the correct "break" Originally uploaded by freerangelibrarian. Oh, the bargains this weekend… it was Petite Suit Heaven! A lovely harbinger of my new job. I am looking forward to the new MPOW… I start tomorrow, sort of, in a soft launch so I can be there for Very Important Activities. Still, when […]
I’m on a committee–the ALa Member Participation Task Force–that just put up a blog andn then back-filled it with earlier discussions we’ve had about moving ALA forward (which is a phrase that brings to mind pushing a comatose elephant uphill, but no matter…). You can read my comments (because of course you want to read […]
Over on Jay Allen’s blog I’ve posted a comment about Movable Type that sums up where I am with this blogging software. Generally, break-up notes for a blogging product have this form: blogger attempts to upgrade product; blogger has trouble upgrading; blogger moves to another product and posts frustrated good-bye notice detailing everything that went […]

I had hoped that this would prevent the amount of unmoderated […]

I am deep into an upgrade of Movable Type and related plugins. It looks good, but I’m getting funky results when I add or update entries (I have a separate installation–which SixApart said was unnecessary, but I’m now glad I did that), so after a thorough perusal of the documentation and various Googlings, I’ve sent […]
This is a test of the review feature; I’ve upgraded Movable Type to 3.3 and Media Manager to 1.1. Bookmark to:
But where is version 1, I hear you ask. I did find version 1–the Rosebud of my macaroon recipes–but only after I had resigned myself to making Version 2, found on the Odense almond paste website. I found Version 1 because while measuring ingredients for Version 2–which I adapted from a recipe on the Odense […]
