Movable Type Stuff

I finally, after spending most of the last two nights and my lunch hour today, have MT installed, configured, tweaked and the entries all put back for the child abuse site. Some stuff is still broken, some stuff will remain broken, existing comments are gone, etc. Some stuff is better. Thanks to a link at Christine’s, I installed MT-Blacklist-Stop Spam now, I made a couple of different options for RSS feeds, thanks to pointers from Lisa, and I spent entirely too much time tracking down a cookie problem I had all because of an extra period in the CGIPath in the configuration file. I’m not sure about this, but I think the download version with the full libraries has something like CGIPath=http://yourdomain.com/path_to_mt. in it, and obviously you change the domain and path to your MT installation, but it’s very easy to overlook the period at the end of it. Eventually I noticed and took out the period and I then stopped going back to the logon screen at every turn.

Anyway, that was fun, now tomorrow I can go back to work and try and find out why that stupid adapter isn’t working, get our billing done and somehow still find time to check out the ITEC show. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, I guess you know why, eh? 🙂

    I was reading this article about the settlement Facebook reached with it’s moderators and I think this serves as a really good example of something where many people want an answer that fits neatly in a Tweet, or a slogan, but the reality is much more complicated. Take the Facebook example as explained by TechDirt:…

  • Liberum

    Seen mentioned in this post by Chris Haaker, a free helpdesk tracking system called Liberum. Looks like it might be pretty interesting. Don’t know that I would use it here, there’s one tech, me, and people are pretty much used to just emailing me or stopping by my office. Asking them to move to filling…

  • Unpleasantness

    It’s one of the areas of working in IT, specifically on the helpdesk, that no one ever prepares you for. They don’t cover it in the tech magazines, they don’t talk about it on tech podcasts, and you don’t hear much about it when you’re training for your career, but at some point, you will…

  • In firewall news

    According to the last edition of the LangaList, Agnitum has a free firewall out, and a release candidate for the Pro version of Outpost . A quick look at it makes it seem pretty cool, maybe an alternative to Zone Alarm. But it looks like the pay version will be way better than the free…
