I’m back

Almost two weeks ago, this blog disappeared. Why? Because I believed this paragraph from Movable Type: “Simple installation: Once the application is on your web server, installing or upgrading the system is as simple as a few clicks.” Yeah, right. It’s actually not Movable Type’s fault. This site has been hosted at Westhost for three years. For whatever reason, this latest version required a Perl module that’s common but pretty much impossible to install at Westhost. I’ve learned more about Perl modules, root access, and mySQL dumps than I ever wanted to know. Thanks to those who e-mailed to find out what was going on. I enjoyed the break for a while, but I’m glad to have my blog back. Glad to have seen my last mySQL dump for a while as well. I can only hope.
