Now that I've played with the Movable Type 3.2 Beta for a bit, I have a thought. That thought is that it seems to me as if Six Apart is going for the ease-of-use crowd (in other words, people who haven't used it and for who it needs to be easy). This, in and of itself, isn't really a Bad Thing™.
Today I was finishing up with the task of installing a server at a customer. This SBS 2003 server had previously been a domain controller (in fact, the first domain controller) in a domain. Now, it's a domain controller in a completely different domain.
First, I had to demote it. That wasn't difficult. Next, I had to join it to the new domain. Again, not difficult. But then things just started to go a bit wacky. I've now done most of the reloading of the server, which in itself isn't a big deal, but it was all done remotely, which made it a bit more challenging.
As I was doing my fiddling today, I think I overloaded Firefox. It had 48 tabs on-screen, and there were others that I couldn't see. Using CTRL-TAB to switch between them became impossible. Even viewing them (while selected) didn't work - tabs at the end of the list weren't on-screen, so you couldn't see which tab was the current one! Thankfully CTRL-W works well to close a tab. Still, I'm down to a more mundane 12 now (really), and I have to manually select tabs. It's like the whole index is just wacked. I'll restart it in a bit.
The Culinary Festival Events for Charlotte Shout have been announced. They'll take place on September 22-24, 2005. The list of attendees is reasonably impressive. Nell Newman, daughter of Paul Newman, will be there, among a number of others, which is cool. Our newest puppy loves their peanut butter treats. Maybe we can score some free samples.
What I don't get is that this is billed as a "Four Day Event". Huh.
