So Far, So Good

Posted at 11:51 PM

It’s been over 24 hours and the new WordPress installation is working well other than a brief hiccup when access to my blog database went offline. But you can’t really blame WordPress for that. It seems DreamHost, my ISP, is still having a few connectivity issues.

However, I do miss MT-Blacklist from my previous Movable Type installation since the first comment I received with the new system was spam. Hopefully this isn’t a trend.

Thankfully Adriaan posted a real comment: his helpful offer about ecto. But since this was posted flawlessly via ecto I can’t take him up on the offer.

As happened before and many times since, blogrolling.com went offline and so did my “Scattered Around” links on the right side of the page. Sometime this weekend blogrolling.com will permanently go offline for me when I leverage the “Manage Links” feature of WordPress.

Who's Blathering?

Why This Chatter?

The author owns the domain so he’s allowed to prattle on about whatever he wants.

What’s a Blivet?

The Jargon File has several appropriate meanings but the author prefers the common usage of the word.
