I've made a lot of changes to things in the past few days - hopefully the transition is smooth and unnoticable to everyone else.
Just a few days ago, my webhost provider, Acornhost, made a change to the server upgrading to Suexec so the scgi-bin directory no longer works for scripts. I don't exactly understand what that is all about and why that was necessary, but anyways I moved my entire Movable Type installation from my personal domain, www.thebrianpages.com to the www.specialtygamer.com cgi-bin folder.
With the move, I needed to republish just about all the pages with journal entries, and update all file paths to the new ones under www.specialtygamer.com. Everything would appear to be in place, however if something I forgot, then you'll just get the old 404. If by chance someone reads this (ha ha), maybe you can post a comment if you come across any dead links and I'll fix it ASAP.
In addition to that I upgraded the MT install from 4.12 to 4.2RC4, which yes is a beta version. The new MT install does seem to have a lot of new feature enhancements to make navigation around the backend more thrifty with more links and information on each individual page. Also I hear there is a lot of performance enhancements to make MT load faster with Memcache. I don't quite understand what Memcache is or does, but I'm trying it out.
I heard these things from Byrne Reese, the Product Manager of Movable Type, whom I met at OSCON this last week and spoke in detail with him personally for a little while on things. He's a very nice guy and obviously cares very much about the product, the user experience, and the direction of progress in technology in general.






What are these icons for?
