Ok, MovableType 3 has been installed, and Palimpsest is back up and running on the CHLT server. Those of you who had accounts under the old installation should be able to log in as usual; if you have trouble, please let me know. Those of you who would like to contribute to Palimpsest, send your preferred username and password to my wordherders address. Please help spread the word of this site’s existence where you can.

And if you’d like to volunteer to help out with the design, let me know about that, too.

weird blacklist error message

Posted on by

I’m getting an odd couple of error messages on the latest version of MT-Blacklist as I work on setting up a new installation of MovableType as I work on the new version of Palimpsest. First, I notice that after a user posts a message, they get the regular “Thank you” notice and then this:

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at plugins/Blacklist/lib/Blacklist/App.pm line 44.

Second, at the bottom of the main Blacklist admin page, I get this:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /home/gwilliams/public_html/cgi-bin/extlib/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 78.

Neither of these appears to affect negatively the function of MT or of Blacklist. Any thoughts on how to get rid of these?

headphones on television with no jack?

Posted on by

Help me Obi Wan Lazyweb. You’re our only hope. We have a Magnavox television (19pr14 c122) with no headphone jack or RCA outputs. All it has is a connection for cable on the back. Is there any way to listen to the television using headphones so that the sound from the speaker cannot be heard by those who are not watching?

you know you’re addicted to caffeine…

…when you wake up with a splitting headache at 5:00 a.m. because your body needs an espresso-strength jolt. “I drink coffee so I can sleep” sounds pretty crazy, doesn’t it?
