A wee piccie taken on the Paddington to Plymouth Great Western service last year. One of the non-crashing ones.

Upgrade!

November 7th, 2004

Finally got around to upgrading to MT 3.1x, something I’d been meaning to do for a while. It’s not easy getting 2 hours or so to do something technical at home, and I’d rather not do this kind of thing in work time even though I could. (Ha! free time in work at the moment? Not fucking likely son)

Also upgraded the comment-spammer-catching miracle that is MT Blacklist. Already caught 4 nare-do-wells attempting to cram shite down my bloghole, nice work Jay!

Things might be a bit different for a while until I work out what all the new options mean in real terms – do comments always come to me for approval or is that just for the v!4gr4 type ones? We’ll see….
