Muse on the jukebox

I don’t think I’ll bother too much with the MTAmazon plugin since I can’t get it to work for me right now.

I tried several other plugins to see if I could get a “Currently Playing” when I post type thing on my weblog other than the general listening muse that I have on my front page in the sidebar. With the WinAmp 5 and Bill Zeller’s WMPamplog plugin (or the alternate Windows Media Player 9 and it’s Blogging plugin… for XP only!) I can insert what I’m listening to when I update my weblog with Zempt. You can even format the results with CSS.

Earthlink’s ancient Perl version craps on Movable Type users

Time for some real makeovers for my weblog to make it easier to update different sections. I will also have to fix up my .htaccess file so that if I change the page endings something different from (currently) .shtml the page will automatically redirect to the new page with out getting and error 404.

Since I’m on Earthlink, I can’t use all the fancy-schmancy doodads that other people with Movable Type and servers with updated Perl/modules. Most of my sidebar is done using SSI hence all the pages ending in .shtml. I’m going to change the .htaccess so it can parse .html with any Includes as well. (Possibly via XBitHack so it won’t create heavier files processing-wise). A better searchable page (search engine-wise) than with it ending in .shtml. Also on the To Do list: better archive filing.

Oh… If any of you out there use MT and are hosted by Earthlink and ever wondered why you can’t use all those wonderful plugins to enhance your site—it’s because Earthlink is a bit of a fossil when it comes to updating their stuff. Their Perl version is ancient! 5.00404. Also don’t expect them to update it any time soon. They can’t just update certain servers here and there. They would have to update all and once. Again, don’t expect them to update it any time soon. Pooh! Oh well.

In other news, BlogShares seems to be on the funk lately. Site down one minute, up the next and slow as heck. I don’t know why I bother with it anyway I don’t even care trade or anything. From their site, “BlogShares News: Jan 13- We installed a new SQL server…̵

Yeah folks, my life now is a big ol’ ball of blah!

Yippy! I’m in

The last post (24 April) I talked about being locked out of the Movable Type support forum because they had switched forum board systems. I got an e-mail today from B. Trott stating that a password was re-set and worked. Yep! I was able to log in and re-set my re-set password and log back in with my newer password. Yippy! I guess I would of got a faster response if I had just left the e-mail subject to what it automatically was when the e-mail window started (In other words, the subject was already filled in but I changed it around and added a few words).

New Movable Type Support forum

Looks like I’m locked out of the new Movable Type Support forum for the time being. My password was stored in cookie form with the old forum and I had to re-log in the new forum.
Problem: I don’t think I wrote down the password. I just clicked the link for my password recovery information. Got my validation key and new replacement password via e-mail. I carefully input the letters and numbers and got the following message on the next page:

The following errors were found:
