I like MovableType. It’s Perl. That’s a plus for me. It keep getting better, and now there’s MTOS. That’s where my love stops.

First, the default templates combined with one of the 5 types of formatting for entries STILL yields non compliant XHTML, even within some of the templates themselves. Publishing is still too hard in that respect. It’s 2008, and I still can’t just plop in a paragraph or two and have awesome auto generated XHTML.

Their “4.1 supports FastCGI” is not very good support. mt-upgrade/check/xmlrpc still don’t work under FastCGI, and it’s so slow under normal cgi that it’s still annoying. Again, it’s 2008 and it still doesn’t support mod_perl under Apache2. WordPress and PHP: Just Works.

It's bad enough I never blog, but its even worse that comments have been broken for so long. I like MovableType, but it's FastCGI support is spotty at best. Enough srewing around with Lighttpd, it's back to good old Apache for me.

I'm in the middle of converting an old ASP site to Perl/ModPerl, Apache and MySQL. Nothing to amazing there. But now that I'm writing a lot of tests for the modules, I have this overwhelming urge to try them on a different platform.

While I'd really like to do this testing on a new dual G5, I don't think the woman will go for it before she gets her new couch for the new house. :-) However, I do have this old beige "OldWorld" G3 sitting around that hasn't been fired up in at least a year. I know it will run NetBSD. And I'm pretty sure it would run Darwin.

So, the real question is, which one should I pick? Both are going to be quite similiar to what I'm used to [FreeBSD].

I hate when that happens. I forgot that my client SSL certificates expired this month; tonight. Doh! Nothing some quick signing and installing didn't cure.

No matter how many times I do the whole CA/Server/Client SSL montra, it still confuses the shit out of me.
