Neil Turner's blogPowered by procrastination.Perpetual Beta- August 18, 2008 It's roughly 4 years since Jason Kottke announced Dropcash, an "easy way to organise a fundraiser". 4 years later, and it's still 'in beta'.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/18/dropcash_perpetual_beta.html On the phone to customer services- August 18, 2008 It's not even 9am and I've already been on the phone to two separate customer service departments.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/18/on_the_phone_to_customer.html Still haven't watched those films- August 14, 2008 2 months ago, I posted a list of films that I own on DVD which I haven't yet watched. And guess what I still haven't watched them.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/14/still_havent_watched_thos.html Movable Type 4.2 and Pro- August 13, 2008 I will upgrade to the final version of Movable Type 4.2 very soon (since the release candidates rocked hard) but will probably pass on MT Pro as its social features are overkill for a site like this, which has recently gone for whole weeks with no comments.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/13/movable_type_42_and_pro.html Business Idea- August 12, 2008 Car insurance gone up again Want to compare the cheapest insurance, but don't know where to starthttp://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/12/business_idea.html Stopping Movable Type eating your database- August 12, 2008 As per Jay Allen's comment, if you are using Movable Type 4, make sure you have a cronjob with this in it.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/12/stopping_movable_type_eat.html Shooting phish in a barrel- August 12, 2008 Just had this email through, claiming to be from 'Abbey National'.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/12/shooting_phish_in_a_barre.html Discreet changes- August 9, 2008 I'm making some behind-the-scenes changes here.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/09/discreet_changes.html Movable Type is eating my database- August 7, 2008 Right now, my Movable Type database occupies well over half a gigabyte of space on my host's web server - 550 MB, to be exact. Obviously, 6 years of blogging with all of its comments and entries does result in a lot of data, but can it really be this muchhttp://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/07/movable_type_is_eating_my.html Minor changes- August 7, 2008 Other than the name change, which apparently most people didn't notice, I've made a few other minor changes around here.http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2008/08/07/minor_changes_1.html |
