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.

Network Solutions Pisses Me Off

How can they lose only *some* of my glue records in the root servers?! AARGH! Thankfully, I finally got things cleaned up enough that I’m now switching to another registrar. Goodbye, Network Solutions. If you’ve been having trouble reaching the site, it should be evening out soon…

Design Mercenaries For Hire

I was once again reminded why I read Jen Funk Segrest’s VeryBigBlog. I’m not usually a huge fan of her designs (although they are very well done), but every couple of days she says something that just tickles me.

Here’s a great quote from a thread on how people freeload so much on free design/art/whatever sites:

First i HATE the title “artist”.

I prefer “Design Mercenary”.

Design is meant to [be] temporary, and current. Art is timelss and permanant. What I do is NOT art.

I actually DO make a living off it. (Not pixeldecor, but the web stuff) Which lso makes it suspect of not being “art”

Awesome.

This just struck me as funny. I really don’t understand how Opera expects to get any sympathy by saying “if you don’t do things my way, I’m taking all my toys and going home!” Especially considering there’s not much incentive to use their toys.
