I haven't had much to say recently -- and I've been too busy to say much anyway. But here's a couple of things. Seems a lot of people aren't as willing to go through the trouble and do a lot of cursing and screaming and sweating smart as I am, and need a little help doing some things that are -- tcha! -- so easy! So here is a guide to blogging with Movable Type for those like all normal people to whom the MT documentation is too abstruse. (Hey, I could have called it "MT Blogging for Dummies" like some other people have.)
Speaking of stuff for dummies, someone has uttered aloud the wish for a "Democracy for Dummies." Well, here's a plan that has worked, more or less efficiently, for a couple hundred years or so.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by Spleenville, where you will always find plenty of ego to go around.
Posted by Andrea Harris at June 1, 2003 12:07 AMAndrea, I am now in deep debt to Dean Esmay, for he has installed MT into my new domain...yes, I have 'arrived'!!! So actually, I am very appreciative of the public service announcement!!
I will announce the new blog when I have something in working order!!

Which puts me one of up on Andrea.
Care to make a race of it, Andrea? :-)
Posted by: Dean Esmay at June 1, 2003 at 06:29 PMThe plan is here, actually. What you linked to is a laundry list of grievances, which when you read it over could apply even better to the modern-day bureaucracies than it ever did to George III.
Actually, closer to July 4 I'm thinking of starting a meme to get people to read the Declaration. What do you think? You with me?
Posted by: Dave at June 1, 2003 at 07:27 PMSharon: congratulations! I can't wait...
Dean: o ho, a challenge... we shall see who runs out of webspace first, hmm?? ;)
Dave: uh -- yeah, that works too! =)
And look how short it is, even with all those amendments tacked on -- compare to the European Union Constitution, all two-thousand articles or something of it, that tries to take care of every last little thing right down to the allowed amount of dust one can shake from a dustmop at one time, or so I have heard.

Posted by: Dean Esmay at June 1, 2003 at 11:45 PMMethinks you have underestimated my crane style before... I may not be fast, but I am thorough. Oh yes. We shall see. (Bows. Returns to demolishing stone blocks with bare feet.)
