MT 3.1 Pfff

Friday, September 3rd, 2004

Well these days i’ve been trying this blogging system, that everybody thinks is the greatest. Oh well, this has been a purely deception, and of course it has features that actually Wordpress already has them since 2 or 3 months ago, like the dynamic publication (which also Textpattern has), sub-categories (which both, WP and TXP has), future publishing, so if you are absent for… i dunno 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, you can write some articles and then you can configure them to publish on a particular date, so your blog doesn’t look very alone in your absent time (WP has this feature only).

First of all, is not that easy to configure that dynamic publishing, you have to configure each template you’re using for your archives, so if you missed something in any template, you’re screwed. Of course it’s a requirement to have mod_rewrite, thing that doesn’t happens with WP or TXP, where you’re not forced to use it if in your host is not enabled. So if you don’t have mod_rewrite, sorry, you have to use static publishing and rebuild everything when you’re changing something.

The comment system, in just one word, is ssssssslow.

And some sort of weird glitches for example when you’re using dynamic publishing, the archives doesn’t seem to exist sometimes and sometimes they exist, very weird.

And i can’t see the PHP support on this, i can’t see it, i’m sorry if i look so damn ignorant, but where is it? i can’t see it seriously. And yeah i pretend to be a total ignorant when i’m using a new piece of software just to see how easy is to use it.

So, there will not be a switch to MT3.1 since it’s basically the same with some bloated features and sometimes a little slow, so lets wait until the Six Apart guys give us an explanation on this or something, that tends to happen with this people, but whatever…

UPDATE Like always, this guys are really quick, there’s available a bug fix for all this issues we had

Switch

So the fact that SixApart is going to charge MovableType and like i said on the first post, this MT thing it would be temporary, i decided to switch to another CMS, and give it a shot. Many people stick with Movable Type, but in this week i started to hate it, because, is for real a fucking hog for the server, and i hate when this shit needs to rebuild you know update the index file.

I think i like this program, a recommendation from someone else who also uses Textpattern and before SixApart did that annoucement he have MT for his site. Then i try it on my personal server, where i realized that i think this is slightly better in some stuff than WP.

So today ima see that Troy movie that everybody is talking about, to find out if is true that’s a good movie, not to mention, i’m still expecting for Kill Bill Vol. 2.

UPDATE I saw Troy this nite, and it was an ok movie, not so good at all, but oh well.

MT?, wtf is that?, MT stands for Movable Type who is a blogging system. Yea, i bet you think “ok, but this is a hog for your server”, well i think is the most easier to use compared to WordPress, i know WordPress is better, but i think the most fast way to get this online is MT by the moment.

Today, of course is Thursday, in the western part of the planet, today im kinda bored and tired, not like always, because my boss congratulate me about a project i did about 3-4 weeks ago, im talking about an intranet for a very important enterprise here in Mexico City, i can’t reveal so many details about this because i have a privacy contract that tells i cant reveal information that compromise the integrity of the project. The only thing i can tell to you is coded in ASP, you know, i hate it, i hate it with a passion, when someone talks about ASP im just have the feeling to stab it in the face, and tell him not to talk about ASP ever again in my presense.

So, today im enjoying a lil rest from the pressure of the work, you know, chatting, hang out in some forums, and stuff, listening to my favorite music, the earphones plugged and feel I’m in my private world.

I think for today is enough of me, tomorrow im going to talk about what is happening in my life atm, so, thats it.
