WOW! A test!

Did we pass?

Oh heck. Now that you guys have commented, I don't feel right about deleting this post. I'm just testing some code. I'm afraid it failed. But don't feel bad! Nobody gets Fs anymore, or so I have heard.

Posted by: Andrea Harris at October 15, 2003 at 12:46 PM

Two of my comments 'failed' to post initially; but then posted twice after retry. Is it just me?

Posted by: ilibcc at October 15, 2003 at 12:49 PM

No -- I was trying to implement MT-Blacklist (an anti-spam plugin for Movable Type) and all it did was make posting and commenting hang. I don't know if it was the plugin -- nothing in the documentation about it -- or me, or the server was having a spasm. In any case, I reset the blog to pre-plugin mode.

"Pre plug-in mode"

That's what us guys do when we get good looking women liquored up and persuade them that we're a lot richer than we are.

I didn't have a drama plugging it in. Did you make the subdirectories? and set the permissions?
Those are the only things that can go wrong, I think.

Is it ok to be alert?

Posted by: Andjam at October 15, 2003 at 01:10 PM

Scott: well, I thought I did. The configuration page came up nicely, and I was able to add extra sites to the add-on list... maybe I will just deleted the plugin stuff and upload it again -- start fresh. Tomorrow.

Would it help if I sent you some spam? I have quite a collection of 419 letters...

Andrea- best of luck, anyway. Hopefully Jay will be awake in the morning!

Triticale- Generous of you!

Posted by: Scott Wickstein at October 15, 2003 at 01:24 PM

Phew! I started to panic.

Posted by: Mike Hunt at October 15, 2003 at 01:35 PM

Doctorate in Everything from the University of Scotland/Canada/Slovenia

More money than Bill Gates from all the money transfer fees I am getting from various funds in Nigeria, Iraq, the Congo and lately Afghanistan :)

This is not a test.

If you opened it up for pornsite spam, it could be testes.

This test is more popular than any of Tim's posts - here is your future Tim !

Posted by: jerry garcia at October 15, 2003 at 03:55 PM

Funny that a dead hippy muso talks about futures. The Grateful Dead were a great band though.

Posted by: Jake D at October 15, 2003 at 04:58 PM

as long as you were stone deaf and totally wasted.

Posted by: Habib Bickford at October 15, 2003 at 05:04 PM

I guess that means Jerry Garcia performs as well now as he ever did.

JEFF KENNETT FOR GOD !!!

Here is another possible future for Tim ...

Posted by: Pod at October 15, 2003 at 06:26 PM

Tests can be interesting. The doc once asked me to take a urine test but I couldn't find any literature to bone up on it....

Pythagoras was a square.

Posted by: Theodopoulos Pherecydes at October 15, 2003 at 09:33 PM

If this is the kind of response he gets when a female posts something, perhaps Tim should consider a co-blogger.

Posted by: Matt at October 16, 2003 at 03:12 AM
