How to make Movable Type work properly on Dreamhost
Turn on Dynamic Publishing for everything, with all options ON That is all. ____________________ And I was just starting to consider other hosting options (Media Temple or Pair or something, anything that would let me publish new entries and let guest leave comments on my blog without returning 500 timeout errors) after receiving the last supercold response from Dreamhost support: Hello, Ok, I found the issue. It seems that your script is loading up over 90 megs worth of .. something directly into apache. I’ve seen this with MT before, and we have no idea what on earth it’s doing. We limit apache memory to 90 megs, as that’s a…

New Commenting Authorization Explanation
I had to make it a little harder to comment on this blog, because the version of the software isn’t going to let my “type gecko” authorization work. Also, this is only made necessary because of stupid comment spammers, who all need to eat a dick and die a painful death. Sorry, I tried to avoid this system because it’s a pain in the ass (eyes, actually), but it’s still fairly simple. Please click on the example diagram below (to open an enlarged version) if you can’t figure out the new system by yourself: Also, my system is still slow. Comments appear to hang after you click Submit, and may…

Movable Type 4 Upgrade
Just to let you know, I’m starting a clean upgrade in a few minutes so the site may be down for a little while. I’m starting the design from scratch to take advantage of the new software architecture, as well. Too bad, I kinda liked this design. Oh well – new wife, new house, new country, new car – I guess a new blog design isn’t such a big deal…. See you on the other side.

Quick note about comments
Commenting here may take multiple tries and/or some patience… Please hang in there. The blog software I’m using is due for a major overhaul very soon, and things should get better. In the meantime, don’t let my overworked server and bloated software get in your way – LET YOURSELF BE HEARD! – the other three readers of this blog will appreciate it.

Something… for nothing!
The first person WHO HAS A PAYPAL ACCOUNT and types a comment in this post can have the remaining balance of my current account. That’s right, you will be a whopping four dollars and six cents (minus transfer fees) richer, unless there is a minimum transfer amount or some such shit I’m neither aware of nor inclined to look up at this particular moment. FREE MONEY! FREE MONEY! FREE MONEY! …so don’t ever say I never gave you anything! /////////////////////////////// The reason I’m doing this, according to PayPal’s help page: Q: I’m moving to another country. How do I change my street address? A: When moving from country to country,…

For you. Who me? Yes, you.
You asked for all of my Thai-related posts; this category contains most of them: Thai Society/Culture This is a chronological listing starting from around the time I came to Thailand to ask for Nam’s hand in marriage (spring ’05). The other Thai-related category on my site is Our Wedding in Thailand, which is just aptly-named as hell, if I do say so myself. It contains the exploits of two elephants, several hundred wedding guests, and the imaginary Jennifer Lopez living in my head, so proceed with caution.

Fish, which is my favorite dish
Ladies and gentlemen, please give a hand for the undisputed king of Japanese fish sausage! This was pointed out to me in an email about that post, by the way. I’m not that insecure about my gyoniku. And the comments section there is pretty much a hub for fish sausage otakus now… Join in the fun!
