my fave bash.org post
Its so good I sought out the site again just to reread it. Funny stuff. Corelli Adagio from concerto grosso op 6 no 8 in G minor from the album “Master and commander – The far side of the world” by BSO – OST

MT 3.2
I upgraded MovableType on my blog to version 3.2. I started having some minor issues, when I found a few pages that seemed to be discussing my problem. Sure enough they were right, I just needed to do a few tweaks. The funny part is I read a note that cautioned people not to start updating late at night, when no one would be able to help. Well, the clock was running down for me to get to bed (had to be in the office early to meet vendors upgrading our T1) and I managed to get the whole thing done and working before bedtime. Now that I am looking…

Done and done, MT appears to be alive and well on my server.
After getting all the info for my installation together, I have to admit, things went very smoothly. I think its mostly because by 2003, most ISP’s have the basic setups in place to make MT work on their customers web space without too much hassle. A database with MYSQL, the latest PERL installed, inexpensive Unix hosting all made my installation a breeze. People reading this who are thinking of starting their own blog site or using movabletype for whatever purpose would do well to check out www.omnis.com, my provider. Hosting plans start at $1 a month, with features added ala carte. (hey mention my name, if you do.) So for…
