We made it into the Nairobi airport on time, about 9:30pm and were met by a driver who brought us to the house we’d be staying at for the next two weeks. A few initial impressions of Nairobi and driving in Kenya.

The last real post that I made here was in 2015, so this has been a long time coming. In the past four years or so I’ve diversified my online personal sharing onto other platforms like facebook and instagram, and the blog has fallen by the wayside. Lately I’ve become a bit disallused with with

Sorry but I’m sick of deleting 30 comments a day from some Chinese guy trying to spam about headphones or some crap like that, and considering I don’t get enough actual comments (or traffic that isn’t spam) to worry about it, you know you can just send me an email or something. Bah, stupid internet.

Turned off comments on the blog here cause the last few weeks has been nothing but spam crap through them, the generic “you write an awesome blog” type stuff with a URL for viagra or watch repair or whatever BS they’re selling. Just got tired of clicking the ‘report as spam’ button every half hour.

Similar to the Ubuntu upgrade that wasn’t, the MovableType 4.0 upgrade didn’t go all that well. The install itself, was amazingly easy… two clicks total, outside of copying the new files to the server (and backups of course). The new interface is…. different, but has some really cool features that someone like me can see
The MovableType 4.0 Upgrade that Wasn’t Read Post »
I set up a blog for Iambe and decided to play a bit with the WordPress blogging engine and thought it was pretty slick compared to Movable Type and started looking at using it for this Blog. The install of the latest version, WordPress 2.1 was super-easy, unzip, put in the database login information, go

Upgraded to MovableType 3.3 (finally). Seems to work quite nicely, and the upgrade routine was pretty easy, other than a minor PITA with a static files directory setting having to be changed (the directory with all the javascript libraries and such, causing the admin interface to basically not work). Notable improvements are lots of little
