Joho is back!

I've been off the air for four days. Four! I believe that's four times the maximum interval since I started blogging for real in 2001.

I've been through the upgrade from hell, trying to move from Movable Type 3.11 to 3.2. In fact, it's not quite done yet: The existing comments are not yet back online, although any comments you leave now will stay; the old ones should be back in a day or two. Sorry!

Six Apart (the Movable Type folks) has been incredibly helpful; they've been through more hell than me on this one. The main issue was that I've been using BerkeleyDB as my database instead of mySQL, and the Berkeley database dump apparently was corrupted. So, this isn't your typical upgrade. Apparently I'm taking the cake for the hardest upgrade ever. Whoopee?

Oh, I hope you can get the comments back soon! It looks so sad, David. Like you've been talking to yourself for weeks!

Congratulations on the upgrade!

(Hey, it's making me put an email address now.)

Sorry you've had all these problems on your site, I'm glad you're at least back up and running and we'll try to make sure it stays that way.
