In the middle of last week I upgraded this site to Movable Type 5. And at (I assume) the same time comments stopped working. It seems that it was some incompatibility between the MT5 Javascript that drives the comment system and the old MT4 templates that I was using. I’ve now rebuilt the site using… Continue reading Comments

Rebuilding Planets
A few months ago I moved this site to another server. At that point all of the “planets” that I was hosting on theplanetarium.org stopped working too because the software that I was using to build them wasn’t installed on the new server.

Blog URLs

They’ve dropped the “archives” directory. No doubt there’s a good reason for it, but until I put… Continue reading Blog URLs

The hard part is persuading the tech support people… Continue reading Blog Progress
I Have a Blog
Nothing much in it yet. All of the old content was on a disk which seems to have failed and I don’t have a backup (please don’t bother telling me how stupid that was – believe me, I know). There’s still a chance that I’ll be able to get the old stuff back so it… Continue reading I Have a Blog
