Temporary URL until DNS refreshes

Ahh the new home.

I couldn’t take the old host’s speed any longer, and I’ve heard good things about Kattare. So here I am (along with a set of other sites I manage).

A big thank you to Scott for the help 🙂. You saved the day.

I went the export/import route. If this were a non-personal site, or one which I knew users were linking to individual posts (I know they’re not here except for the hoax I accidently published last month), I would have went with your MySQL suggestion. In anycase, my static content hasn’t link-rotted 🙂

Almost there… need some help

At my new host I’m facing a variation of the infamous “I’ve moved my site and I can’t login” error. I’ve posted it to the support forum last night, but in the interest if expediency, let me ask you here.

So:

1. I’ve copied my MT installation to the new host.
2. I’ve editted mt.cfg to reflect the correct paths.
3. I believe I have the correct permissions.
4. I’ve ran mt-check.cgi and have gotten positive results.
5. I’ve been able to start mt.cgi without an error.

Then I get “Invalid login” error when attempting to sign in.

6. I’ve followed the instructions in the docs titled, “I changed hosts, and now I can’t log in to Movable Type.”

Here go the results:

1. > db_upgrade *.db *.idx
db_upgrade: author.db: DB->upgrade only supported on native byte-order systems

db_upgrade: DB->upgrade: author.db: Invalid argument

2. > db_dump author.db
db_dump: author.db: btree version 6 requires a version upgrade
db_dump: open: author.db: DB_OLDVERSION: Database requires a version upgrade

3. > db_dump185 author.db
db_dump185: Command not found.

What now? Anybody here can lend a hand?

Opie and Anthony canceled

Posted on by

WNEW-FM has issued the following press release:

Based on recent events, The Opie and Anthony Show has been cancelled, and will be replaced by other programming beginning tomorrow.

Westwood One, Opie and Anthony’s syndicator has also cancelled the program. The program aired on 18 stations across the country.

Also on Thursday, the top U.S. communications regulator ordered an investigation into complaints that the shock jocks allegedly broadcast a live, eyewitness account of a couple having sex in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. This report lead to today’s cancellation.

Sleeping Angels makes the news again

“Sept. 11 brought the family together, ironically. It was like a another Thanksgiving,” said the boys’ father, Dante Martino. Four days later, tragedy would strike again. Hunter James, while sleeping in his crib in his Upper Moreland home, died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or the unexpected death of an apparently healthy baby – usually between 2 and 4 months old – for reasons that cannot be explained, even after a thorough investigation.

Katie and Dante Martino were devastated. But from their grief and pain came hope and help for others, in the form of the Sleeping Angels Fund, an organization dedicated to helping financially needy families pay for funeral arrangements after the sudden death of their infants.
