Rudy Winnacker : “After getting into the cage it became apparent that the task requires some more complicated work on the file server than we had anticipated, including the physical removal of it from the rack.” Steve Jenson : “It required rewriting page generation so if anybody notices any strange spacing issues, please feel free […]
Shannon Campbell : “Someone needs to write a Movable Type Plug-in that will echo all the keystrokes anyone enters in a comment box.” Ulp. I’m not going to do it, but I do know how it can be done.
Dorothea : “If I can’t say something nice, I shouldn’t say anything at all… especially on the Web.”
Dave Hyatt : “We need to forcibly eject people from the elevator.”
Minutes before going to bed last night, I wrote “until I come up with something better […] I use fopen/fread in PHP to get sha1.cgi?s=mailto:address” to get an SHA-1 hash. Minutes after getting up this morning, I was changing that to include(‘inc.sha1.php’);, thanks (as in all-caps, <blink>, onMouseover=’trumpetflourish.wav’ thanks) to Marcus Campbell, who mailed me […]

I didn’t really get why he supported TrackBack but didn’t fake a <dc:title> so that the Movable Type “Select a TrackBack entry to ping” select list was mostly […]
Coming soon to a Movable Type installation near you: MT 2.5 will allow you to ping blo.gs and other weblogs.com compatible services, obsoleting my hack to do it, and will stop spam-pinging weblogs.com, only pinging when an entry is first published (whether its a new entry, or newly going from draft to publish), obsoleting my […]
Back in the day, using Blogger Classic, I didn’t much miss post titles. If I was doing a blog that required them, I faked them up with markup, and if I didn’t need them I just plunged right in. Now, after five months of Blogger Pro and another three of Movable Type, I can’t imagine […]
