Cars Can’t Fly … Even an M5

January 31st, 2008

Tragic news that five people lost their lives due to reckless driving. The news story has a few quotes from his post earlier that evening to determine how best to drive his father’s M5 140+ mph. Unfortunately it seems nobody answered “at a race track with proper driving instruction.”

Hello, world! It’s WordPress.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!  Maybe I’ll just import everything from MT.  I still like MovableType, but some *very* funky permissions issues in the db after upgrading from 3.x to 4.x beta and 4.1 final caused me to try something new.

Clearly I should have done this earlier.  It took ~3 minutes to install and upgrade.  Partly due to the easy installation from my new hosting provider and the limited amount of content I actually needed to import.

Final Upgrade …

not quite. The various steps through MT 4.01 aren’t exactly painless. So no archives for now …

Whenever I decide to clean my office, move a service from machine to machine, or some similar form of housekeeping there are a few sure things.

  1. I’m completely horrified by the random hodgepodge of things strewn about
  2. I’m utterly impressed by the level of organization and forethought contained throughout each of the piles targetted for cleaning
  3. I swear to cleanup the gunk and “never let it reach this state again”
  4. A random component upgrade to the latest beta “since we’re in there already”*

In the midst of moving the site to a different host, there was a bit of a wireless security issue. It appears all things have been resolved. Expect some additional organizational things to change. More photos integrated with Flickr instead of hosted locally. And perhaps even some usefully blogging. Most likely not. Last but not least an Open Source version of MovableType. Hoorah.

* Also applies to construction projects.
