Kottke laments the loss of individual voices and innovations to corporations.
Consider Six Apart as an example of what I’m talking about. 6A is like a black hole for creative people. Folks who, a year or two ago, were among the leading voices in the discussion of how weblogs were changing our culture, were coding all […]

Mena goes postal (not really)
27Apr05Weblog Tools Suck

Radio Archive Migration

I’m itching to use the new PostgreSQL support, but… besides the source-code tweaks that I need to hunt down, I really want to get my Radio archives imported before I do anything else…

Moving Movable Type
18Dec02I’ve moved my Movable Type installation… let’s see if this puppy still works
02:55 Update: I think everything is working now, time for the big test: rm -R and rebuild…
03:15 Update: It’s all good, everything is moved, re-built, and looking fine. If you spot anything weird, e-mail me. In the morning I’ll write about why […]
