Archives borked

The monthly and category archives seem to have broken on me, probably because of me messing with the archive template mappings. Excuse the breakage while I try to figure out what I broke this time. Entry archives still work.

Update: Ok, the category archives seem to have magically unborked themselves. Oddly, only the April and May monthly archives are broken. This is very strange.

On the eve of hurricane season

The first named Atlantic storm, Arthur, made an appearance this afternoon reincarnated from the remnants of the first named eastern Pacific storm, Alma.

Like Alma, it looks like Arthur will be fairly short-lived and be mostly a rain event for southern Mexico.

At MT4.2rc1

Updated to MT 4.2rc1 and already there are a few templates that need modification so excuse any breakage you might encounter (drop me a line if you do find some breakage).

Still digesting all the new things (never really did get around to digesting all the template tag changes between 3.3x and 4.1) and I still need to get around to mucking around with my templates so things build a little faster. From the looks of things, there are a lot of new things. MT’s templating system is has almost become a full-blown programming language in itself!

The game is tied!

Much buzz abounds about Phoenix‘s successful landing on Mars. There are already plenty of pictures to check out too.

With that landing, the score is tied at 20-20 and Earth’s scoring streak continues!

Although the mission is only scheduled to last 90 days, considering the success of Opportunity and Spirit, I have high hopes that Phoenix’s mission will last longer.
