Ode to my red compact two hole punch
Somebody stole my red hole punch, the one I use for writing class. It might just be misplaced, but if I find the thief I’m gonna kick his ass.

Max Says Yeah
It took a while to get a good take of this routine. I guess we’ll eventually find out if it’s legally binding or not!

Friday finality
I think I’ve finally got this blog up and running the way it should be, so I feel great. — Woke up this morning, went to buy a traditional Isan breakfast of sticky rice and skewered BBQ pork, as well as some fried doughballs and a bag of rice porridge. Brought it all back home, got Max ready, and took him to school. Found a roadside vendor selling fresh durian and had him break down a small (~.75 kgs whole) one for Nam – she loves them (I merely tolerate them). Came home again to Mina babbling and scooting around madly on her baby walker. It’s been a perfect start…

Comments are working again
Now I need to figure out the Gravatar system. But not tonight. In the meantime, I’ve set the system to assign random ugly avatars to people without Gravatars. You’re welcome.

WPMU: Final thoughts for the time being
WordPress Multi-user is not ready for the big time. This is evident from the fact that it’s not an option accessible from the WordPress GUI (it must be hard-coded by the user into a configuration file on the server). My problem with it is that it relies on flaky rewrite rules you must, again, hard code into your .htaccess file on the server. Also, as I mentioned in my previous post, it makes you use specific directories for file uploading and changes your URL structure as well (credit where credit’s due: One of MT’s greatest strengths is the ability to publish any kind of static file anywhere you want it).…

Further thoughts on WPMU (WordPress Multi-user)
I’m disliking the fact that I can’t specify a single upload directory (as opposed to a regular WordPress install). The uploads go into dated folders, which I dislike intensely. I dislike it so much, I may just go back to single-user WP again. One plugin that’s been indispensable was one I needed to delete all entries and comments: WordPress Suicide. It saved me from having to do a third reinstall today!

WordPress Multi-blog and Notepad++ FAIL
One thing MT was a lot better at was support for multiple blogs, because it was designed with this in mind from early on. To enable multiple blog administration and creation from a single installation of WP takes a bit more work (multi-blog was only integrated[and rather half-assedly at that] in the most recent version of WordPress, v3.0). In fact, it had me tearing my hair out when I found out the only way to enable new blog creation in subdirectories (instead of subdomains) was to uninstall WordPress entirely and start all over… So I did that, and started getting funky php errors when I modified the wp-config file per…
