For anyone who’s been following my server saga over the weekend (too gruesome to go into in detail), I ended up having to blow off my new Moveable Type installation, because it screwed up the numbering on my permalinks. I’ve reverted to a backup from Friday morning, and rebuilt all posts since then by hand. In the process, all comments and trackbacks on posts since then have been lost, so if you said anything timeless in any of them, or want to get your link back in, have at it.

I’ve also not bothered to repost the progress reports on getting the blog back up, but briefly, I ran out of disk space on my server on Friday, and fubared my database as a result (MT really should check for the ability to write files before it attempts to write files…). The system was broken to the point that it wasn’t possible to post comments at all. All seems to be well, now, however.
