So now I have no excuse for not updating more frequently. Damn.
Then the penny dropped. Before the upgrade I was desperately trying to make publishing faster, and I put in a default fastcgi handler for .cgi files. Turning it off in my cPanel fixed the problem completely.
Silly me.
Anyway, the upgrade seems to have helped publish speed enormously. It takes about half the time it used to. Yay. Not really tried out any other new stuff yet.
I claim my blog, Technorati: Technorati Profile. Deny my claim at your extreme peril.
Publishing pages to this site is way too slow. Trying a few tweaks. If they don't work, it's complaint time.
So many places to 'express oneself', so little time.
Actually, I only have three to speak of, and plenty of time. Facebook, Twitter, here. I don't really use other services.
I think I'm just a bit lazy.
The nice folks at LivingDot have upgraded me to MovableType 4.23. Yay. Entry creation is still pig slow, alas.
Stealing freely from my good friend and colleague Lee, I'm going to do more regular blog updates. Since I work in technology, this will probably mean more technical stuff. I imagine it will also include a lot more ranting about my employer, since that seems to be my favourite sport at the moment.
As good as the Movable Type rich text editor is, it's not good enough - it's intensely annoying to have to use the mouse to select italics and other basic effects.
It seems the de facto alternative text editor is FCKeditor, and that's what I've installed (via its plugin page) at my LivingDot-hosted site. It's lovely! I'd have it just for the ability to embolden, italicise etc. with keypresses, but it does a whole lot more than that.
Based on a recommendation from the SixApart website I decided to go with blog specialist LivingDot. It's working out fine so far, I was annoyed to have to wait while stuff got set up but when it did it worked pretty well.
I had to mail support to get Movable Type added to my account, but the response was swift, again it works pretty well so far.
This is my first experiment with commercial hosting. I'm curious to see how it works out. I have my MoinMoin wiki as well, and it'd be cool to be able to host that here too.
