| An irregularly updated journal of my Fair and Balanced thoughts, reactions, opinions, biases, outrages, strategies, victories, and commentary. Whatever it is, it's much too subtle to be considered a parody... |

Unqualified Offerings kindly noticed our distress with Movable Type.
We had database corruption, which in not catching, but is painful. I found out more than I was interested in about how MT works and what the toolset is to work on it if it is injured.
We ended up with a solution of sorts. We created several different instances of MT, each with their own database files.
There are three results of this decision, which we are still in the process of implementing.
- Damage to one blog does not affect the others
- Search can be configured for each blog
- Old permalinks are dead (sorry...)
Ben Trott gets our thanks for supporting us and working to salvage our entries database over the weekend. Thanks, Ben.
Other (read bigger) blogs will be back on-line as we finish the transition, which should be no later than end of day.
The moral of the story is: back up your blog on a schedule of appropriate frequency.
