Wow. What can I say, other than the MT 4.01 upgrade was completely worth it? I run on Dreamhost because I’m cheap and I understand the Pick Any Two rule. My first attempt at upgrading to MT 4 went down in flames. Entry rebuilds would die (get killed actually) before they could complete. Basically, I couldn’t do anything to the entire site. So, that sucked. The site just stagnated as I waited for things to magically fix themselves. Whatever they fixed in 4.01 did the trick.
Thank you Six Apart.
I can now go back to procrastinating about revamping Vertical Hold.
As always, you can find “fresh content” at tumblr.
Update: Okay. Things are a tiny bit fubar right now. Going from v3 to v4 templates is, well, interesting. Things other than the main index will be screwy until I can hammer out the kinks.
Update 2: Wow. I think I’m just rusty. But the publishing system has changed dramatically. This might be what I’m looking for.
It's very hard. It's taken over 3 years for this site to get ~200 readers (not page views) a day. Even then, it's mostly spiders scurrying around on the internets, sucking up all the content they can find. I guess some of them must be spambots or something more nefarious.
Anyway, just another time to plug my content on tumblr. Maybe MT 4 will be as easy to use as tumblr for those one off photos from your phone that you don't want to post on Flickr or that crazy quote that you wanted to stick somewhere but didn't have time to give any context.
We'll see.
I tried a number of tumble log packages before finding tumblr and none of them ever really captured my attention. I could never find anything that could give me the ability to produce something like Anarchia (which if you don't follow, you should start immediately). But tumblr made all those failed experiments fade away into the haze that is my long-term memory.
It gives me a place to put all those camera phone pix that I don't want to upload to Flickr.
It gives me a place to put link that I don't want to put into delicious.
It lets me just post quotes from web pages. And by "web pages" I mean Fake Steve.
It does all this with what can only be described as a magic bookmarklet, without which tumblr would be just another "web 2.0" site that I would quickly abandon.
For a while now I've been giving tumblr a try. It's really nice for those quick things you just want to throw up on the interwebs but don't have time to either comment on it or create an entry in whatever system you're using.
Yes, all the big players have bookmarklets...but they suck. The thing with tumblr is their bookmarklet is quite the opposite of suck. Go on, get a tumblr of your own.
- Firefox 48%
- IE 36%

Firefox has 43% already on 2.x. IE has 68% still on 6.x. Safari has 91% on the latest build.
I have no shame. Deal with it.
Send me links by tagging them on del.icio.us with for:pberry.
Thank you.
That is all. For now.
