MemeMachineGo!

If you’ve tried commenting or searching in the past couple of days, you may have noticed some problems. Those should be sorted, now.

A while ago, I mentioned that I’d registered Movable Type 3.2. I was having a lot of problems with 2.661, so I finally upgraded, and moved from using Berkeley DB to PostgreSQL for the database.

Well, that was a pain in the butt. But it’s mostly over with.

The worst casualty is that every link to an individual MemeMachineGo! entry ever is now broken. I’ll write something over the weekend to generate symbolic links to the entries’ new homes. I’ll also need to do some work to recover Free Range Memes.

The archive templates are a mess now, but everything seems to be working. There’s no more RSS 1.0 link. Right now, comments are moderated and need approval. I have to figure out what my options are regarding commenting and spamfighting.

In the transition, I lost the most recent comment, from Gary Farber, which he’d tried to post several times, falling afoul of the aforementioned problems. Sorry about that, Gary.

Many thanks to Scanner, MemeMachineGo!’s generous host, for all his help in the transition.

Please let me know if you see any problems.
