Check out Bill’s postings titled “The Fear”. Looking like a cool behind the scenes story to me 🙂
Banned Books Week – Celebrate Freedom
The message of Banned Books Week is more than the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular. The essential message of Banned Books Week is the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them.

A great idea for the week of September 21?28, 2002. Hey, would someone like to rig up a page pointing to booksellers based upon the lists provided?
How many are disappointed at what LibertyNet’s become?
It’s still around. Although you would never know it. The buzz is gone. A few years back LibertyNet was something special. Now it’s not. What happened?
It’s directory of websites still is one of the best however.
Ray Ozzie posts a draft of his company’s weblog policies
Check it out here. I wonder how long it’s going to take for other companies to do similar?
Kinda weird but really cool
It’s a strange delight to hear yourself mentioned by someone in a different country, using a tool you’ve helped to build.

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 🙂
Any MovableType gurus can help me?
Please check out my previous post.
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?
Changing web hosts
I’ve been busy moving my other sites to a new web hosting provider. The last being this site. It is going to move shortly so don’t expect many updates the next couple of days. We shall see.
