Who the hell would have thought these things up? (via The Electric Smack Shack… I saw the link weeks ago, and thought I posted this, but found it among my draft posts, and realized I hadn’t posted it at all. Gaa.)

The New MT
Well, I’ve done it. I finally migrated to the new Movable Type, and I’m quite happy about the layout and all. I haven’t checked out the new features, but I do think it’s a good piece of work. And I can even sort-of understand it not being free anymore, though I do think it’s a bit hard on users to demand no more than 3 blogs and one author for any one installation.

But there’s something to look forward to, at least. Maybe you happen upon a farmer’s stand where you can buy 모과 (papaya) dirt cheap, and they’re firm enough to need to be left till the weekend or so before you eat them. Or maybe you figure out a really good, fun, …
