You gotta love it!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Don’t you just love when your internet connection goes flaky and you get an email out to your ISP and they respond with “We’re having some trouble with our proxy server, we’ll let you know when it’s working properly”, and then you find that the connection has been OK for hours, but no note from them? Yeah I’m always in the habit of checking it for myself and not waiting on them, and I’m glad they got it fixed, but really, wouldn’t it be nice if they actually meant it when they said “we’ll let you know”?

    It seems that this attempt at upgrading to Movable Type version 3.32 over at the child abuse site seems to have worked. I posted an entry and a test comment without running into the Pre-Save error I was getting the last time I tried to upgrade. I think uploading the whole package instead of trying…

  • Blogrolling

    The coolest thing about using blogrolling, well beside the fact that it’s ridiculously easy, is that I can see who’s been blogrolling me, which is cool. Just taking at look at my site gave me these people who have added me and who I had never read before: http://www.e-dennis.net http://www.mylickleworld.co.uk/blog.php http://nullified.kevinsblog.com http://www.rmcrob.com http://www.leepotts.com/blog.html http://www.excessbloggage.com/bloggyblog/links.html http://www.quality.nu/lisa…

    Phil Ringalda has posted a pair of MT hacks that I’m noting here for my own benefit to read later. The Child Abuse site doesn’t have anywhere near enough traffic to have some of these problems, and well, it doesn’t have more than one blog running either, but you never know what the future will…
