I upgraded the Moveable Type code to version 2. There are many improvements with this new version but I’m having trouble getting the paths straight for the CGI scripts. I’m working on it.

Pam’s been collecting them for years. Everyone has received many of them in the mail or in magazines. What are they? AOL disks. This guy is collecting them too.

Hey moron! When its raining, turn on your freakin’ headlights. While you’re at it, quit driving so fast and stop tailgating me, mofo. Better yet, stay home and out of my way.

I have MT pointing to the correct URL’s and my main weblog page is working fine. Now I have to redo the other pages on my site and integrate them into the MT template. The problem is whenever I try to make changes to the MT template, the page doesn’t load. I’m studying all the the Moveable Type tags, and their purpose. Then I should have a better understanding of what goes where on the page.

We were told today was the coldest day of the winter season. I believe it since I froze my arse off walking in and out of work. I’m even chilled inside the house and I’m NEVER chilled so it must be cold.

It’s a wonderful thing. I managed to export all of my old Blogger files into Moveable Type. Actually with MT’s detailed instructions, the process was quite easy. Since Blogger doesn’t use titles for its entries, there was some adjusting. Now all I have to do is point www.mikefeldstein.net (.com) to the new MT blog. Tomorrow night.

I’m having a blast with MT. Soon I’ll add a photo section, a bbs and more. The 34sp.com servers allow WAP so I may dabble in that too.

This page about the top 40 Photoshop experts was interesting.

Now I have to do a little tweaking to get my Blogger entries exported over to the new server. Then I’ll work on changing the template for MT. It’s nice but I wanted to customize it a little. If you want to see what it looks like, go here. Let me know what you think.

My switch to Comcast is complete. They shut off the old mail February 28th. They also turned off my access to the newsgroups. In a lame attempt to make their users happy, Comcast is providing a Giganews account. That’s nice except they have a limit of 1 GB per month. This is not acceptable. I’m already 79% to my limit and its only been 2 days! Of course, I could sign up for additional download allocations but it costs $11.95 per month. Bastards. I can’t think of ANY ISP that limits its members with newsgroup access. I wish there were another provider but Comcast is the only broadband service available to me in my area. And they know it.

I love this.

Full Moon Tonight will be the Brightest of the Year At one end of the ellipse (called apogee) the Moon lies 406,700 km from Earth. At the other end (called perigee) the Moon is only 356,400 km away — a difference of 50 thousand km! When the Moon is full on Feb. 27th it will be near perigee — close to Earth. As a result the Moon will appear 9% wider than normal and shine 20% brighter. via fark

This thing is kinda cool. I’d use it with my Rio 800 MP3 player. Right now I’m using one of those cassette adapters.

Moveable Type is moving along fairly well. I finally got connected and the scripts are running but there is one module causing trouble. When I get it ironed out, I’ll get the new page posted. It will probably be sometime this weekend. I’m learning a little about PERL and CGI scripting so working with MT is fun for me. I just have to find time in the evening to play with it.

Hi Raffi. Thanks for visiting the site. Sorry there isn’t much new lately but I promise that I will update it with some good stuff very soon.

The Moveable type install is going OK but I can’t get the CGI scripts to run. I found some documentation to fix the problem but I ran out of time last night. I’m hoping to get it running tonight sometime.

The Big Snowstorm fizzled out and I couldn’t use it as an excuse to not come in or leave early from work. I supposed I’ll have to figure out some other line to give my boss for sneaking out early.

I’ve settled on Moveable Type for my new blogging software. Several reviews picked MT over GreyMatter including Wil Wheaton. So today I will migrate my site over to MT. Wish me luck.

The Reflex tester is a fun waste of time. I found myself trying to beat my score for over 20 minutes before giving up. Try it out for yourself.

As promised, I moved my domain away from Network Solutions to my current web host, 34SP.com. They offer much cheaper rates and now I have everything all in one place. Network Solutions have pissed me off for the last time. My dotcom address should be active in a few days.

By the way thank you Mike D for your tip on 34SP. The price of only $18 per year to host is incredible and they offer me everything I need. If you are looking for a host, be sure and check 34SP.

Allow myself to introduce…myself. My name is Richie Cunningham.

Huck are you ever going to talk to me? I need to have an intelligent conversation with someone quick. How about it? And remember, I’m not beneath bribery if that’s what it takes.

Here’s another one: TechTales.com. They have “the funniest tech support stories on the Internet.” I could probably add a few myself.

The move to the new host server is complete. I am very pleased with the response times, the pages load almost immediately. There is some trouble with my .COM domain switch. It’s still registered with Network Solutions and they haven’t bothered to update the name servers yet. If they don’t get it working by the end of today (48 hours later) I plan on switching to another registrar. NetSol has given me nothing but trouble since I signed up with them.

My next project will be to switch from Blogger over to GreyMatter or Moveable Type. Both are weblogging tools you install on your system. They require a CGI-bin directory on the host server and some knowledge of PERL. I’m leaning toward Greymatter since it includes a bunch of documentation and step by step instructions on how to install it on your server.

I will be moving the site over to my new web host this weekend. It may take up to 48 hours for the DNS name server changes to take effect. FSB will probably be down for a short while during the transition.
