Things Looking Up

OK, I'm slowly getting things back to normal. I still have to fix the templates on my individual entry sheets, and there are some problems with style sheets, as you can see by the flaky typefaces. The biggest problem remains comments, which still aren't working as advertised. I've got some questions up on the MT fora, but no useful response yet. I also have a problem with the software hanging when I publish a post (it just times out and gives me a 500). Fortunately, it seems to do what it's supposed to do before that happens, but it's a PITA. I'm hoping that some MT type can tell me how to run a debugger to figure out where and what the problem is. The real problem is that it also means that it times out when submitting a comment, so if anyone tries to do that, they'll get frustrated, and perhaps end up doing it multiple times. So I'm going to have to disable them for now.

Still working problems and not much time for blogging, though I'm working on a SS2 piece for another venue, and I'll probably be blogging the debate tonight at Pajamas, since it's just around the corner from me, over at FAU.

I'm going to keep this post at the top for a while, as a warning that the site is still under construction. Don't let any bytes fall on your head.

CSS is not referenced by the entry itself (it is by the main site). So the entry comes up unformatted.

I know that. I was referring to the main page. I haven't even started fixing entry pages. That's next.

Everyone out here is so sorry to see all the crap MT is putting you through!

Rand,
I've been a "registered" MT user for quite some time. Do I have to re-register everytime a blogger upgrades? Was unable to sign in with my MT identity!
You get to "blog" debate, so I can enjoy cheesy Flash Gordon on SciFi Channel. Many thanks!
To Jay, no posts @ "Voyage", no email responses, at least I now know you're alive and, probably, not suffering from any life threatening problems.

I wandered over here just to put in my two bits about the hilarious suggestion by an AP reporter that the military could just shoot down that spy satellite that is about to augur in - figured you'd have something on it. Brilliant. I guess they think that when you shoot something, it falls down vertically. And, since the pieces might land in unfriendly teritory, let's give them some clues about our anti-satellite technology while we're at it.

Anyway, hope you get the site working again soon.
