Ok, now I’m finally up and running on Mephisto, having discarded Typo, having discarded WordPress, having discarded Movable Type, having discarded Blogger. Unfortunately the site will be sans my custom theme for awhile. Regardless, I give myself 24, maybe 36 hours before I find out about some new ...

I’ve punted to the default Typo theme for now, while I plan my escape to Mephisto.
In other news, I’m getting used to the MacBook Pro much faster than I expected I would. Quicksilver is certainly easing things quite a bit. I still wish I could turn off &%$#^% ...

It burns! It burns!
I finally broke down last night, ran out and bought a MacBook Pro. Now I finally can test the site in Safari and Mac Firefox…and man, it ain’t pretty. Apologies to you folks who have been seeing this twisted abomination. I’ll fix it ...

If you run Typo and Mephisto on the same domain, with Typo on port 80 and Mephisto somewhere else, if you make a page request in the Mephisto admin, it will log you out of the Typo admin. The converse of that is not true–page requests in Typo won’t ...

That last dino-sized post almost was eaten by the blog grues. I think Mephisto’s session cookie conflicts with Typo’s, or something–I was logged out in the middle of writing it. Maybe it’s just a Typo bug, I’m not sure.

Ugh. I just got Typo set up and working great, was starting to get some real writing done and…I found out that none of the cool kids are using Typo anymore, that’s so September 2006. Now all the cool kids are using Mephisto.
So my first reaction, of course, ...

After all that banging around on three separate platforms, I’m finally up and running, and it’s great. I can quit focusing on making nasty code work, and can put effort into refining the design, refining the setup, and actually writing. And what do you know, it actually seems ...
