Blogger

I have to admit some of those new Blogger templates look pretty damn good.

Speaking of blogging, I've been reading a lot of complaints about the new licensing plan from SixApart. Me, I have no complaints. P6 fits nicely within the guidelines for the free version (I'm going to plead ignorance on the number of CPUs my host runs) and I have little need for tech support.

You know, I could see folks getting upset if they really, really had plans to blow up. But you know, this version ain't bad. Honestly, between the base product and all the plug-ins, what do you want to do that you can't already? And whenever I read something like, "I should have known better to go closed source," I'm like hey, it wasn't a problem last week. I'll be honest, free was HELLA more important than open source.

I'm not biased because I wrote MTClient. It would take me a day or two to optimize it to post to Wordpress. And though I've been seriously delayed I'm still thinking community site, and at this point that requires another package; Scoop, PHP-Nuke, something. I'm just saying that what we've had up until now is a lot like that computer you bought last year. There may be newer stuff, but it still has everything you're comfortable with.
