Go buy the album, Genius Loves Company, when it comes out.
I’m attempting to use the LJ-Synch plugin again. Let’s see if it’s working now.
What this means to you: adding the
After I backup the Movable Type database to a flat text file, I’m going to nuke the MT database off the server, as well as the 20 megs of archived HTML. One big benefit of WordPress over MT: No redundant files. Every time I update the blog, MT rebuilds something that takes somewhere between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, depending on what it interacts with. The HTML that gets served up is prebuilt for the viewers, so that saves an SQL hit, but it incurs a lot more PHP time for each rebuild, so I think the space and time savings with WP will be better overall. We’ll see. Since I’m backing everything up, if I get a wild hair and want to go back to MT, I can. If I can get the LJ plugin to work in WP, I may not even look at switching away from the Open Source WordPress anyhow. Open Source is my friend.
Further adventures in culinary achievement…
One more experiment down, Hasselback Potatoes last night. They turned out ok, but not really worth the time it took to make them. This is actually about the same as the Orange Marsala Hens, which were quite yummy, but not appreciably better than the $5 whole roasted chicken from the local grocery store.
On the up side, the raspberry cheesecake brownies are fantastic, and a big hit at work today.
According to CNet, music labels are trying to dampen CD burning yet again. So far, this has never worked. Every method of copy protection fails. This is especially true of audio CDs, because you have to be able to *hear* them for it to make any sense to buy them. Since anything you can hear can be copied, any copy protection of audio (or video) is doomed to failure.
I would think this would be obvious, but apparently it’s not to the music and movie industries, who think fighting with and suing their customers is a good business idea.
I’ve been making recipes from a magazine I’ve recently subscribed to. Last night, meatball subs with homemade (baked!) meatballs. They were quite yummy and about 18 pounds per sandwich. Tonight, we had steak grillades on pepperjack noodles. Tomorrow, orange marsala hens.
I’m very happy with my cooking this week. 🙂
