How to Move from Movable Type 3.34 to WordPress 2.1.2 With Lots of Entries

After banging my stupid head against the wall like an idiot last night, I settled in, figured it out, and now it’s all working. Here’s how you do it:

Before you start, understand what these instructions are for:

These instructions assume you’re moving from Movable Type 3.34 to WordPress 2.1.2 or later AND that you have [...]

High Schoolers Catch Lying Corporation

A science project launched by two teenage students in New Zealand has cost a huge multinational more than $180,000 and forced it to launch a nationwide ad campaign to correct claims about vitamin C in the popular Ribena blackcurrant drink.

“It goes to show that consumer action really can make a difference — we hope it [...]

Consumerist Makes a Weird Post

I love Consumerist and Ben is a friend of mine, but it’s kinda weird that they found this story worthy of a post…

This report shows in 24 out of 25 MSAs [Metropolitan Statistical Areas], urban areas that have dense populations have fewer bank branches — therefore fewer mainstream banking opportunities — than the less populated [...]

Student Suspended for Dressing Like a Pirate

When you’re a pirate, some dangers just come with the territory: scurvy, grog hangovers, a walk down the plank at sword point. But being kicked out of school for a day?

Bryan Killian doesn’t think that’s a fair reaction to his decision to come to North Buncombe High School wearing an eye patch and an [...]

Today’s Duh Moment

In a moment of sheer obviousness, Bridge Ratings managed to pull this surprising stat up. Out of 1000 XM subscribers, only 12% are likely to listen to Howard Stern if the merger goes through.

Duh.

Of course, Orbitcast is having none of this obvious media baiting:

Bridge doesn’t indicate a timeframe for when they polled the 1,000 [...]

What? Moving again?

Obama Benefitting from YouTube “Hack”?

Interesting stuff…

In the last couple of weeks Barack Obama’s YouTube numbers have absolutely skyrocketed. With over 2,700,000 views of Obama’s channel as of this writing, he has almost 35 times the number of views as Hillary Clinton, who comes in second at over 78,000 (in the last couple of days Obama’s numbers seemed to stopped [...]

Wow… That takes stones…

LONDON (Reuters) – A man who filmed himself skiing down the longest escalator on London’s underground rail network was branded “dangerous, stupid and irresponsible” on Wednesday.

The man hurtled down nearly 200 feet (60 metres) at Angel tube station with a camera strapped to his head and posted the video on the YouTube Web site.

The 60-second [...]

Five years ago today, President Bush signed into law the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. Today, American politics is so clean you could eat off it — except for the mud-slinging, [...]

Run Linux? We can’t help you…

This is really interesting…

Laura Breeden bought a new Compaq Presario C304NR notebook in January. She bought it because she wanted to get rid of Windows and all the malware that surrounds it and move to Linux, and her old laptop lacked the memory and power to run Ubuntu Edgy. The salespeople assured her that the [...]

Saint Sean Shot a Drug Dealer

Heh… Sean Bell, the saintly young man who was shot on his wedding night because he was black (if you believe him, his lawyers, every newspaper in New York and Al Sharpton) apparently (or should I say allegedly?) shot a drug dealer last year…

The legal ramifications over the claim that Sean Bell had shot [...]

iPod Problems Not an Apple Issue (DUH)

So since Vista launched, all we’ve heard from the fanboys is how Apple f’ed up and how Apple didn’t have iTunes and the iPod ready and Apple had Vista for months before launch and should’ve done better. It was an Apple-bashing fiesta from minute one! I have to admit my own puzzlement at [...]
