Don't Back Down

Since I upgraded to Movable Type 3.0D, it wasn't possible to syndicate the search results. I finally had a few minutes to get the changes in place, and so syndicated search results should again be possible, for multiple results or a single entry. Please let me know if you encounter any problems with it (or anything else).

Update: Okay, I'm having some problems with the search results when they go through any template other than the default one. Seems the results time out and you don't get anything. If you refresh right away it generally works, but that doesn't help those who poll the data once an hour. I'm going to create individual archive feeds, which will also help with the processing load on the server.

Update: I've created individual archive feeds, which can now be accessed from the XML links on each entry. This will replace the functionality of the search-based results, which means your results may be available more frequently than they were due to timeouts and the like. The 'old way' of doing it through the search and generating the XML dynamically should continue to work too, though you may run into some problems with actually getting the feed. Let me know if you run into any problems.

At least one person agrees with my fiscal worries. Naturally, others don't.

Maybe the problem isn't just the government. Maybe the problem is that people are so used to what they are getting that they come to look at it as an entitlement instead of something that must be constantly earned. I'm sure I'm guilty of doing the same thing from time to time, but it seems to be the rule in our society, rather than the exception.

When I lost my job earlier this year, we had to make some changes. Not a lot of them, but we definitely had to start paying more attention to where our money was going. We still don't have a budget, but we do try and stay on top of things. And one thing that has really come of it is that we realized just how important it is to hold on more tightly to the things that really matter, and how completely unimportant it is to continue getting caught up in the ridiculous things that we only think are important.
