Which means that I'll very likely go back to the local Genius Bar, point to my PowerBook, and say "make it happy again!" (The Mac people really look forward to these little chats.)

Then I'll go and get ecto to streamline my blogging life. Yay!

I just wanted you to know that some of our best people are working on my technical problems, and we should have entree-size entries soon. By "our best people," of course, I mean Pixy Misa.

He's going to try creating a medium-length entry here, so we can see if it's something related to my computer (which it probably is).

From now on, this blog will be structured like the movie Memento, and will not make sense until the very beginning/end. Also, it might be a little fragmented.

But that will make it more interesting.

Sorry about the broken link in the entry below. My lords and masters at Movable Type have decided that changing a closing to tag to [/a] vs. [/i] would make the post too long and ruin everything.

It's like being on a verbosity diet.

. . . maybe MT has my best interests at heart. My traffic is up, so I suppose the shorter posts are working.

It's a sobering thought, if you want to know the truth.

. . . it might be something horrifyingly simple, like I'm typing evil control characters into my entries by mistake, since I'm a lousy typist?

But I've been a lousy typist for years, and why would MT choose this particular moment to judge me for it?

(Not that I'm taking any of this personally, you understand. But you try being rejected by a computer program and see how you feel!)

I tried posting at my alternate blog on Blogger, and got this message:

"There were errors."

Asked for details, the helpful program told me this:

"001 java.io.IOException: EOF while reading from control connection".

But that didn't help me at all.

Thoughts?

I can't figure out what is causing MT to reject most of my entries that have any sort of substance.

And they're all sitting in an MS Word, file, man. Every word is a freakin' pearl. They'd bowl you over if you could read them.

post without getting an error message.

Safari can’t open the page “http://blog.mu.nu/cgi/mt.cgi” because it could not load any data from this location."

And it won't work in Explorer, either.

Very annoying.

I wonder whether memory problems in my Mac might be related to my inablity to post anything over four lines. Anyone have any ideas about that? So far I've been very lucky in not needing to upgrade my memory, but I know with a Mac one always gets needs to upgrade, sooner or later.

MT has decided I'm too wordy, and will only accept entries that are a few lines long.

This could be an opportunity to Become Concise. Or, perhaps, find out how far into the yard my computer would go if I threw it right through the freakin' window as hard as I could.

2 This could be an opportunity to Become Concise. Or, perhaps, it could become an opportunity to Switch To Wordpress... Just a thought. ;-)

3 Well, one problem I've had with WordPress is that it tends to blink on other people's blogs as I scroll. Can this be fixed?

4 I use Firefox, and sometimes your page doesn't load properly. Thankfully this time it did.

Posted by: ratan at September 17, 2005 07:04 PM (xdPoU)

5 Hm. I don't think that's MT's fault. It's probably mine, for loading all the stupid crap onto my sidebars that I do. Even my blog is cluttered! That's how inadequate I am!

Posted by: Attila Girl at September 18, 2005 12:07 AM (Kti1Q)

6 I doubt it's the fault of MT. Your blog isn't very cluttered at all, at least not compared to some others I read. Which makes the difficulty loading it in FF all the more strange. It does load fine in IE, so I'm not too troubled by it.

Posted by: ratan at September 18, 2005 10:26 AM (xdPoU)

7 Miss Attila, You're just fighting with a setting in MT. Shoot me an email with the version you're using and perhaps I can help you fix that. I haven't had any problems posting 2000 word rants...so I think it's a setting that got messed up. Love the blog...and the look. Nothing jumbled about it. You got it going on! See you on the high ground! MajorDad1984

How on earth do you expect me to post interesting things if you don't stop by?

Visit more often, and I'll post. It's only fair.

Hm. Wonder what's going on, here. MT appears to have some sort of mental block.

And, you know—it's a lot younger than I am. Definitely on the other side of that 40-divide. So there's no real excuse for it.
