Movable Type 2.6

Not directly related to my blog for the most part, but I’ve updated to Movable Type 2.6. Looks like the transition went smoothly, let me know if you see any problems.

Is freedom really slavery, Mister Reed? Is this bug really a feature, Mister Reed?

So this guy going by the name “Lenny Bruce” has been trolling the Fink lists, raving about some supposed conspiracy in which Tenon somehow coerced the XonX folks into not releasing hardware-accelerated OpenGL support. Hehe, it makes me want to laugh just writing it. Anyways, I’ve captured some of the better morsels from the thread to a text file, and at the end have added the off-list discussion that continued between him and I after Max banned him from the list. Check it out, it’s pretty amusing. It’s cute, he even wrote me a poem! If he is foolish enough to respond, I’ll be sure to post it to the end of that file… Update: he’s posting to my blog. So what do you think? Is removing someone from a mailing list on SourceForge a freedom of speech infringment? You know my opinion. Of course, he keeps threatening me even though I’m not the one who removed him, so even if it is he’s talking to the wrong person, but he’s certainly entertaining, either way.

I’ve gotta do some CSS tinkering.

The more I learn about it, the more impressed I am. I updated my main site to XHTML 1.1 tonight. Didn’t have to do much to make it validate. I’m considering totally reworking my blog layout now that I’m starting to understand how it works. Right now I’m basically using MovableType‘s default layout with some minor stylesheet changes, but I’d like to come up with something a bit more unique. I’m considering making something based on my little alien dude theme (you can see it in the background of some of my screenshots). There’s just something spiffy about it. =)

NetNewsWire Pro Blog Editing

If you haven’t seen it, there’s a great RSS feed-reading tool called NetNewsWire that can read many blogs’ RSS feeds, as well as other stuff like slashdot. The new version (still in beta) has support for blog editing built in, for a lot of popular blogs, including Movable Type, which is what I use. It’s pretty darn cool just as a reader, but I’m giving the editor a shot. If it’s as good as the rest of the program, I expect I’ll be registering it pretty soon. It’s a nice bit of software. [update] I guess it worked. =)

First Post!

This is my first time posting to my new, spiffy, Movable Type blog. It’s pretty nice, although I’m still working to get my head around it. We’ll see how this goes… My buddy Larry (of HickoryWind fame) told me to try this out, so I’m giving it a whirl. Whee!
