Bleeding Edge – MT 3.3 Beta 2

elvis2 Comments

I just upgraded my MT install to MT 3.3 Beta 2. Which isn’t, I guess, truly bleeding edge, but I like the phrase bleeding edge. If anyone has troubles, let me know. This new MT version has some cool features, I’m only just starting to play with them.

Update – The MT 3.3 Beta has been released.

I encourage MT users to get on board and help test – I’d like to see this release go GA shortly, it’s got some REALLY cool features. I’m not planning to upgrade this-here space yet (not ’til they get to at least beta version 2 or 3), but it’s looking pretty solid in my beta-testing blog and I’ve seen no major bugs yet.

SixApart are about to start a beta test of Movable Type 3.3.

The plan as of now is to install that here – maybe not the day it comes out, but shortly after. I’ll likely (If I have time) install 3.3 as a separate installation first to drive it around and see what’s different. If any of you-all who have m’sphere blogs are interested, I’ll point you to it.

I have not seen a change list to see what they’ve added, but I’m hoping it’s 1) good stuff and 2) doesn’t break anything.

While I think MT is the best bloging platform out there, I’m not sure how confident I am in SixApart these days; they seem like they’re letting things get away from them on TypePad and of course they’re spending cycles supporting LiveJournal, which is possibly the worst blogging platform around, if the one with the largest customer base. I’m hoping they get control of that shortly.

Blogrolling is down, down down

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Seems like it’s back, finally. I’m no big fan of blogrolling but it’s still the only one that does ‘recently updated’ links correctly. For everything else, MTBlogRolling is a better choice.

thanks, CG

…And now CG’s entry on writing has been picked up by (the lovely and talented) Bacchus from Erosblog, and so I’m getting even more hits. So if you’re looking for the story CG mentioned, that’s here, in it’s pre-edit form; the erotic novella Wanton.

So thanks Bacchus as well as CG!

Evidently I’ve not only stopped blogging but stopped communicating almost completely. Even my mother just asked me if she’d pissed me off, and she’s never said anything like that to me, ever. I’m certain there’s a list of people who are likewise wondering if I’m angry, or who are angry with me. Mea Culpa. I’m […]

Mea Culpa. I’m sorry. It’s been a weird week or so. I’m trying to settle down and write something, anything. The words slip through my grasping fingers like eels.

He is called the human nest-egg
Is known as Prince of Leaves
He is hidden now but you can see
The bubbles where he breathes
He has mastered all the hard things
And is difficult to shock
Has a muscle on the bottom
Which attaches him to the rocks

blog break

I didn’t really plan it but I seem to have taken some sort of break from blogging. I look back at my last couple weeks of entries and find that even though there are a few posts, they’re free of content. And since last weekend I’ve had nothing whatsoever to say, not even able to […]

I didn’t really plan it but I seem to have taken some sort of break from blogging. I look back at my last couple weeks of entries and find that even though there are a few posts, they’re free of content. And since last weekend I’ve had nothing whatsoever to say, not even able to write apart from a couple current-eventss notes.

I don’t know if this is the end of taking a break or just the beginning. But I know I still have nothing to say.

So. Let’s just call this a blog break and see what happens.

Cats foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoias poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind mans greed
Poets starving children bleed
Nothing hes got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

more happy

Because I’m just that sort of friend, Doxy, I forgot yesterday was your birthday. I keep tellin’ people, I’m an asshole. Anyway, a big moronosphere shout-out to Doxy. Happy Birthday, baby. You seem to have stopped blogging again, but I’m hope you’re havin’ a fine ol’ day of it. It also seems to be Gina’s […]

It also seems to be Gina’s (mrs Ray) birthday.

So mid-april spankings all round.

I just found a trick at LMT to make author comments show up differently than comments from the peanut gallery. I tried this out yesterday in Hiromi’s blog (which worked out pretty well) so today I added it to my blog. Still tuning but I think it’s pretty cool, it make it clear which comments […]

Still tuning but I think it’s pretty cool, it make it clear which comments are author replies; not that useful here but really useful for Hiromi, who is the queen of comments. I’m still tweaking around with her comments over there to get the best display but I’m likin’ the way it works out.

(This is what I do when I’m sick – that cold I was fighting all last week finally won, and I feel like crap. Which I just typo’d as ‘feel like carp’, which may be how I feel, like a fuckin’ carp.)

Happy Blogday to CG

I just wanted to give a nod to the lovely and talented ChelseaGirl who’s celebrating her one year BlogDay anniversary with an all-day house party. And I wanted to point to what I made for her, a little bit of erotica called Chelsea, which wasn’t bad for being written under the influence of tequila. Happy […]
