I can’t believe it. I was googling for how to disable touchpad tapping in OpenSUSE, and it simply led me nowhere.
But the whole thing is actually as simple as:
It’s just a good thing I have this flexibility!

This is just another one of those Movable Type (MT) vs. WordPress (WP) discussions. Readers somehow got to feel the heat in the exchange of words.
Again, the debate boils down as to which is better, a static site (MT) or a dynamic one (WP). For a site with minimal traffic like Obeertym.com and Deuts.NET, it doesn’t matter. You could not even feel the difference.
Yes, you could see the difference in the back-end when publishing blog posts. But I haven’t yet reached 600 posts and comments in Obeertym, and yet it takes some time to publish posts from here. That’s why I still prefer WordPress.
The Philippine Lotto website is just another evidence at how lousy Philippine government service is, even at rendering webpages at their website. It’s a clear manifestation of how slow government service is. They should have anticipated that, and allocated more resources for that agency’s website, like more IT support, programmers, etc. Where have those money the PCSO is constantly receiving everyday gone?
Naturally, the PCSO’s website will receive more hits and visits than any other government website, and yet getting the latest lotto results is a real pain in the ass.
Haven’t they really heard of web feeds before?
2.5 Version of WordPress is already out, yet I find myself reluctant to upgrade, because of so much things to do before I can actually get it going in Deuts.NET. Maybe I’ll just install it in one of my test blogs to mirror the themes and plugins found in Deuts.NET so I’ll just drag the files later to the latter.
Opera is a great browser. I would like very much to try it out and maybe even use it as my default internet browser, because of its hyperspeed in rendering webpages. However, the problem is when rendering Deuts.NET, in the singles template it pushed the last image in my flickrRSS images down! Damn! I just can’t really live with it!
It has been more than 2 years since I first stumbled upon the website of Digiprint, a photo printing company, an affiliate of LBC (an express delivery service in the Philippines) with so many branches across the metro and the Philippines. It seems where there is an LBC branch, there is Digiprint.
But anyway, back to the topic, it has been more than two years, and it seems that there’s not much been an improvement in the site. Anywhere you click, the resulting url in the browser address bar stil says www.digiprint.com.ph. I don’t know what kind of software it uses, but it just appears to be buggy for me.
Moreover, they have this service just like a photo sharing site, wherein if you want you can have your pictures already hosted in their site printed and delivered right away at your doorsteps anywhere in the Philippines without a charge (for the delivery of course, the photo printing is another story). Of course I didn’t try that service. I’m not sure but I guess they accept credit card, but am I willing to avail of that?
I think not. First of all, it’s because of their buggy website, one that appears to hide something. And while you’re logging in, the security icon in whichever browser you use does not appear. It could only mean that your password might not be protected or encrypted from possible intruders and leechers.
What’s more? Their website is not accessible by merely typing “digiprint.com.ph” in the browser address bar. You need to always include the “www” just like in the case of Philippine government official websites. They couldn’t at least redirect it to the “no www” one. Come on, it’s 2008! Are you trying to point out to me the technology of the 90’s?
Well, hopefully, this is the answer to my previous question. Later, if I have time, I might effect this to the forum.
Yeah, this blog is powered by MT4 (Movable Type), but I just can’t help myself from echoing what I missed about Wordpress (WP), and the features of the latter that I can’t seem to find in MT.
First off is the documentation and community. When I’m looking for a WP solution that I want to implement into my WP blog, I used to just google it, and almost everything is there, from the wordpress community itself or from other blogs talking about how they did it for themselves. In MT, I believe there’s no community. And the search results…. irrelevant!
Second, MT is supposed to do it like Wordpress MU, wherein you can create a new blog in a new folder in your server within the same installation. And as I was doing just like that, creating a new blog in a subfolder of obeertym.com, the index and archives pages were properly created in the subfolder, but the css–it imports from a non-existent directory.
For example:
I have MT core files installed in a subdirectory, say:
www.obeertym.com/mt-core/
And this blog is created at ww.obeertym.com, the style sheet in the root directory imports the css found in:
www.obeertym.com/mt-core/…(etc)..
Now, when I create a new blog say in:
www.obeertym.com/newblog
The css in the same directory imports the css from:
www.obeertym.com/newblog/mt-core/…(etc)…
Now isn’t that fun?!
Third, and I guess not the last, is that when you’re logged in into the system and you view your post, and you see something needs to be edited, there’s just no way to just click a link to go directly to the “edit entry page”. Maybe it’s because the pages are published in html, not in php just like in WordPress.
That’s all I noticed so far. More are definitely coming as I continue the experience with MT4. The experience I have so far is not yet determinate to come up with the conclusion on MT vs. WP.
The Broken Lnk Checker WordPress plugin has really come in very in migrating my blogs from one domain name to another. It checks not just for links that aren’t functional anymore, it also checks for images that are not there in your posts.
I wonder if there’s a counterpart plugin for Movable Type.
