know your limits
Well, I'm back from my exile to myspace. I was never too comfortable over there on that social networky thingy. I like having my own anti-social network over here. All of the content that I posted there since crumpled's server issues is now here.
I'm using blogger and this rather stripped down template for now and for the short term future. Movable type had some upsides: I liked the trackbacking system and the freedom of design. THe downsides included: horrifying vulnerability to spam, and the MT blacklist. Installing MT blacklist is rather like getting cancer to cure AIDS. Blogger is something I can easily fix when it goes wrong. My old website, the fruit of a lot of elex's hard work, has been safely backed up on to my laptop.
I plan on basically reposting all of the old stuff on to this blog because blogger doesn't appear to have any importing abilities. Plus I can't log into MT right now, and that's usually a prerequisite for importing files.
So, slowly the old archives will come back and the look here will become less generic.
Hao bu hao?

ah. For some reason with RSS on the website wasn't letting me update. It was giving me that access denied ish.

Indeed, the world needs its logic, but I was hoping for bloxom or word press before rockin the arithmetical hierarchy.
Alas, it seems I must go back to Blogger...
RE RSS: Did you get your file permissions and paths right? I could take a look.

I'm sure that was the problem. I could just guess and check until I get it right. What's up with this ATOM stuff vs RSS?
