Pardon my French, but it’s hotter than a motherfucker out there. This wouldn’t be a big deal at all if I actually had air-conditioning. I’m actually contemplating the idea of renting a hotel room just so I can turn the thermostat to 55 degrees and chill. Literally.

So it looks like I have all the posts I wrote with Typo and Mephisto in one form or the other scattered across three computers. Now all I need is an XSLT stylesheet to convert Atom to WXR (Wordpress Extended RSS, which is an XMLish dump of a Wordpress database.) Unfortunately, Movable Type only knows how to read its native non-XML flatfile format and WXR. This is definitely a shortcoming. That said, I may just not have looked hard enough for a plug-in that will let me import Atom.

But so far, I’m digging Movable Type. I haven’t taken a gander at the code yet, and I know that Movable Type has been around for a long time, making it susceptible to cruftiness. (For an example of cruftiness, just look at Wordpress.) But there’s something to be said about tried-and-true.
