WebWord Weblog Posting

Posting Date: September 27, 2002
 

WebWord Comment -- Movable Type, which is WebWord's content management system, has been acting fruity all night. When people post comments, they don't always stick. It makes me sad to see Movable Type creak and groan under pressure. It has been relatively solid for me thus far. Although, maybe it isn't Movable Type. Ever since I gave Mac, MadMan, and Jack the ability to add new entries, things have been less stable. Mere coincidence? ;-)

 

  

Reader Comments...
 

So, are the missing comments permanently gone?

Ron, I think that only the comments Jack's posting are gone. I clicked through several pages and the comments seem like they are alive and kicking. Thanks for being so concerned!

This evening I noticed WebWord's front page was toast... that green tagline and not much else. So I brought up my posting in MT and resaved it -- to force a rewrite of the front page. I've done that sort of thing before to correct typos, but this time it nixed all messages in the thread.

It's all part of my master plan to drive John insane.

Phase 2: Buy postcards on Ebay. Have the sellers mail the postcards to John -- blank.

Phase 3: Call John and order mushu pork, kung pao chicken, and tofu kabobs. Order something different every night.

Phase 4: Show up at his doorstop Saturday morning posing as a Mormon missionary. Show up the following Saturday as a Jehovah's Witness.

Please post additional ideas... You get more points if your plan is not illegal and can be carried out without driving to New York.

And what's wrong with Mormon missionaries? I know plenty of them.

I found two postings that have comment counts, but no comments:

Nothing's wrong with missionaries. I'm not about to poo poo "the best two years" of their lives. I enjoy people knocking on my door preaching their religiousness to me. Yup. I enjoy it. They're snappy dressers too.

It's all those remarks about the *monkeys*,*apes* ... errr ...

I don't like the door-knocking, but two really cute little Mormon boys once offered to help me unload my car. I thought that was really sweet (and also a little scary, which is why I said no). Well, they were my age but they were very innocent looking, and they had backpacks on.
