Happy birthday to my favourite blogging software – this blog loves and appreciates you. Without MT, linking to the funniest Google Video clip i have ever seen would be far too much effort.

I’ve upgraded to MT 3.2 – what a pleasure. The upgrade was a breeze (as they claim, the easiest ever), the new admin interface is fantastic, and the new features are great. Plugins galore!
I’m still working on my templates (i reverted from my somewhat custom templates to the 3.2 defaults) so let the style madness begin – the new StyleCatcher plugin makes switching between styles (from the MT style library and others) a piece of cake. Now the only problem is to choose the one I like most, and stick with it…
I could tinker with this setup all night and love every minute of it, my wife is addicted to cooking shows, each to their own :-)

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”

I’m out of time… so have a link dump.

Tapwave shuts down – what a pity. I’ve been playing with one, and despite being overpriced, it’s a wonderful Palm-based gadget.
