Server Upgrades

We’re in the middle of some server OS upgrades (new linux version, new versions of some of our management tools) so if anything seems funky, bear with us, we’ll iron it out over the next day or two.

MTLJPost fix!

The most excellent Gavin of Kode Koan just got me an incredibly simple one-liner fix for MTLJPost, an MT plugin that cross-posts MT to LiveJournal (MT 3.x broke it.) If you read me there, you can see it works again! This fix is cake – in your MT install, edit this file:       [MT […]

The most excellent Gavin of Kode Koan just got me an incredibly simple one-liner fix for MTLJPost, an MT plugin that cross-posts MT to LiveJournal (MT 3.x broke it.)

If you read me there, you can see it works again!

This fix is cake – in your MT install, edit this file:

      [MT Root]/plugins/MTLJPost/MTLJPost.pl

Change this line:

      $t->param(‘TRACKBACKCOUNT’, $entry->trackback_count);
to
      $t->param(‘TRACKBACKCOUNT’, $entry->ping_count);

And that’s it. It should start working.

Thanks, Gavin!

You may notice some adverts here and there around the m’sphere. Which ain’t exactly piracy, but you know, you do what ‘ya gotta. I’m tryin’ this out after helping a hot and lovely friend research ads. They may not stay, we’ll see what i get in the way of filthy lucre.

The Motörhead logo is back. I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

The Motörhead logo is back.

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.

Because I löve you all. Vïcïôüslÿ.

I found this font I couldn’t resist. So we’re temporarily the, you know, kool-aid-o-sphere. Thanks to the lovely-and-talented Miss Syl, font geek and photoshop bitch extraordinaire.

3.3 Beta

We’re up and running on the final MT 3.3 release candidate. Fingers crossed, we may have a full release on it by the end of the week.

MT 3.3 beta

Update – The MT 3.3 Beta has been released.

I encourage MT users to get on board and help test – I’d like to see this release go GA shortly, it’s got some REALLY cool features. I’m not planning to upgrade this-here space yet (not ’til they get to at least beta version 2 or 3), but it’s looking pretty solid in my beta-testing blog and I’ve seen no major bugs yet.

SixApart are about to start a beta test of Movable Type 3.3.

The plan as of now is to install that here – maybe not the day it comes out, but shortly after. I’ll likely (If I have time) install 3.3 as a separate installation first to drive it around and see what’s different. If any of you-all who have m’sphere blogs are interested, I’ll point you to it.

I have not seen a change list to see what they’ve added, but I’m hoping it’s 1) good stuff and 2) doesn’t break anything.

While I think MT is the best bloging platform out there, I’m not sure how confident I am in SixApart these days; they seem like they’re letting things get away from them on TypePad and of course they’re spending cycles supporting LiveJournal, which is possibly the worst blogging platform around, if the one with the largest customer base. I’m hoping they get control of that shortly.

blog break

I didn’t really plan it but I seem to have taken some sort of break from blogging. I look back at my last couple weeks of entries and find that even though there are a few posts, they’re free of content. And since last weekend I’ve had nothing whatsoever to say, not even able to […]

I didn’t really plan it but I seem to have taken some sort of break from blogging. I look back at my last couple weeks of entries and find that even though there are a few posts, they’re free of content. And since last weekend I’ve had nothing whatsoever to say, not even able to write apart from a couple current-eventss notes.

I don’t know if this is the end of taking a break or just the beginning. But I know I still have nothing to say.

So. Let’s just call this a blog break and see what happens.

Cats foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoias poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind mans greed
Poets starving children bleed
Nothing hes got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

skunked sex?

Suddenly I’m getting dozens of hits from people googling skunked sex. I don’t even know what that means. But somehow I’m getting hits. (scratches head. shrugs.) I like it better when I get hits on daddy fuck me really hard, but I’ll take what I can get.

I think I’ve mostly un-done the template breakage, but I still need to tweak a few things. Right now I’m hip deep in Joomla, trying to figure out how to shoehorn a internal group website into a Joomla layout. Sections and Categories and Bears, Oh My. I’m finally putting the blog-related skills into something now […]
