Upgrades
Since the rest of the world has been running blogging software that is less than 3 years old I thought it may be time for me to catch up to 2004. So here I am, running (test testing testing 1,2,3) a new MT 3.15 installation. Really, not a hard upgrade, except for the one part where I tried to follow instructions.. I should have known better.. (I never read README files, I don't know why I tried it this time around).
Instructions say...
If you are upgrading from version 2.6, 2.61, 2.62, 2.63, 2.64, 2.65, 2.66 or 2.661
Run mt-upgrade30.cgi, then mt-upgrade31.cgi.
.. and script says...
It's a 2s perl hack to fix it.. but really.. (change 3.0 to 2.6 on line 47 in mt_upgrade30.cgi.. then again in mt_upgrade31.cgi)
So now that I'm running this spiffy new version of MT (and it is spiffy) it's probably high time I should redo my templates... and that ugly css file.. and those hideous category archives.. and.. er.. the whole site really.
You may also notice my blogroll is gone.. I've been using blogrolling (mostly out of laziness) and since I liked it, I made a donation a while ago, well it seems they've gone pay service and chose to bombard me with daily "upgrade now! expiring! mayday! mayday!" messages.. That's annoying, so I'll have to work on something all by my scripty self.
Comments
Ooh. Maybe I'll do that soon too. :-)

There is a blogroll plugin for MT as well. Take a look at that if you want.

Bloglines has a nice blogroll script you can use (assuming you're using bloglines, that is).

I used to be an MT man until I met Wordpress one night in a skanky bar. We've been happily in love ever since. If you have given it a go and did not like it, ignore me. If you haven't tried it I have one suggestion: TRY IT!!
There is a nice script to import all your MT entries/comments and everything actually works nicely!
I wasn't going to turn you onto it (you know, keep the love all for myself) but than I saw you were a linux girl AND you like Java, so I couldn't resist. May Tux and Duke protect you from above! (may in some sort of flying device, perhaps with some sort of guns which shoot knoppix disc's at windows users, or, when it senses the kill is close, a Gentoo live CD :D)
