My host eats it

Funkatron.com is hosted on HostRocket. In general they’re pretty decent, but they’re got some problems with their cgi stuff. As I’ve stated before, you really want to run Movable Type with a cgi wrapper, because if you don’t, you have to leave some directories world-writable. HostRocket has a cgi wrapper, but there are some problems with it that cause MT to throw 500 Internal Server Errors from time to time (like when anyone tries to post a comment). Can anyone recommend a better inexpensive host that supports MT better?

LameBrain: a LAME frontend for OS X

I wanted to do some more GUI programming, so I started working on a LAME front-end for OS X. I really like RazorLame for Win32, but since it’s written in Delphi, I doubt it will be getting ported anytime soon. This is certainly nowhere near the quality of that program, but maybe you’ll like it.

Fun with L. Ron Hubbard

From the video Introduction to Scientology

  • L. Ron Hubbard: You have to neglect illness, and the body, and so forth, to improve man.
  • L. Ron Hubbard: Psychiatry has to do with the insane, and we have nothing to do with the insane whatsoever. The insane — well, uh, they’re insane.
  • L. Ron Hubbard: I asked them one day, up at Oxford, “What — what — what does ‘Scientology’ mean?” and they said — they — it means, really, “the study of knowledge” or “I know the word.”
  • Tony Hitchman: But surely you’ve only got as much brain as you’re born with.
    L. Ron Hubbard: Oh, no — brain has nothing to do with it. Brain is a sort of a — well, I don’t know, brain is brain. What it does, I’m never quite sure.
  • L. Ron Hubbard: The insane, and so forth, somebody else can have them, they’ve already failed.
  • L. Ron Hubbard: But that’s psychotherapy. That’s for the neurotic, or the person who is insane, or something like that. That has nothing to do with Scientology. Scientology is for an able guy like you, or like me, uh, able to function in life, able to make his own way, does his work, and so forth - all right, THAT’S the man that should be helped; that’s the man you should help out, because that fellow is having a hard time, and uh, he’s got his problems.
