Holidays, upgraded MovableType and World of Warcraft
This year has simply flown by - it seems like only yesterday that I was leaving my previous role as a win32 SysAdmin and now I’ve had over six months as a Linux Sysadmin. Of the two, I vastly prefer the Linux role (and that is putting it mildly). There is nothing like the sheer enjoyment of working with Linux for a living, it changes your viewpoint on life. My favourite comment at the moment “Work is just a large extension of the home LAN”.
After a long pause (and being as I’m on 2 weeks holidays over Christmas), I’ve upgraded by MovableType install to 3.14 (from 2.6) and have started to use it again (obviously enough). The upgrade was the normal painless setup that SixApart have had in the past and the new version appears to have some very nice changes indeed. Unfortunately, I’m too much of a miser to go for a mysql account with pair, so I’m staying with Berkeley DB. I did (and still am) having a look at blosxom but I haven’t quite got my head around that at the moment.
In other news, I’m playing games again - World of Warcraft is currently consuming large amounts of my time. Being a long time player of Blizzard games (all of the Starcraft games, Diablo 1 and 2), this is yet another example of a superb production of a great concept. The game is so good, it is stopping me indulging in much Linux play at all 
Now to see if this posts correctly.
