Please be patient as Disillusioned undergoes a layout change. Thank you.

Thank You, Mihai!

If you're a dedicated MovableType user like I am but don't have the knowledge of the ins and outs, also like me, then you've been to the MovableType Forums asking for help.  Well, I want to RAVE and totally thank Mihai. He went to bat for those of us who wanted to upgrade to MovableType 5.2.2 and couldn't because there are some hosting companies (Ahem, Hostmonster) that will only allow 15 connections to a MySQL database from one username at a time and he got some coding changed, fixed, etc, so that we COULD upgrade.

So, again, Thank you, Mihai! You truly are a fantastic person for getting this fix. 

For those who haven't seen it, you can find the fix here: http://forums.movabletype.org/2012/10/mysql-max-user-connections-error.html

Since I can't allow anonymous comments, even with an email address required, without getting slammed constantly with spam comments I've changed the settings.  Captcha doesn't like me (and I can't remember how I got it to work last time ((did I post how I did it because I can't remember that either... ))) so I've allowed people to either sign in with movable type, typepad, a few other choices or create a user id.  I *will* be moderating the user id creation because the last thing I need are the spammers creating accounts to ... well, do their spammy thing.

So, over there in the left hand sidebar, under the calendar, is a 'Sign In' widget thingie.  Click Sign In.  It will take you to the sign in page, then you choose what site you want to sign in using.  If you don't want to use a site, click the Sign Up at the bottom right of that page.  Then when you come back you would sign in using the MovableType login option.  Easy, yes?  Well, easy enough that you won't need an Easy button for it.

Enjoy and happy (non-spammy) commenting.

Movable Type Logo

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
bug-pbmt-red.jpg I have a thing about 'matching' when it comes to the layouts here on Disillusioned.  So I took the MovableType logo (which I have done before) and matched it to the layout.  It's actually supposed to be showing between the Useful Sites and Amazon Favorites Widgets.  But for some reason, even though the permissions are correct, the url for the image source is correct and it shows up when I pull up the url directly, it will not show in the widget sidebar.  It seems to be the only thing I am having an issue with at this time.  Since it won't display in the widget, I thought I would write a post so that everyone could see it. So there you go, the matching logo.  Feel free to steal it.  It's in jpg format instead of png because... well I prefer it that way.  Later.

Upgrade?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
So I wanted to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Movable Type because I'm loyal like that and all but it turns out I can't. Thanks to Hostmonster only allowing 15 MySQL connections at once and MT requires at least 20 it won't upgrade.  After going back and forth with them regarding on how to fix it, being told to turn on FastCGI and turn on persistent connections/turn off persistent connections, uninstall plugins, etc etc, nothing worked.  Obviously I'm not going to spend more money when I'm hardly here so I rolled back to 5.14.  For now.

Stay tuned.

About Disillusioned

Disillusioned is a personal view of the world around me. A lot of information will be about books I read, or shows/movies I watch but sometimes there will be something that simply has to be pointed out and shredded. With Joy.

Disillusioned is best viewed in 1280x800 resolution.

To contact me you can email me by way of disillusioned at sweetly-evil.org, comments are open for business with approval.
