Two-thirds of the way through

Posted by Daniel Stout on Wed 20 Jun 2007 at 8:36 PM

With tonight’s poem Have you ever been? I’m two-thirds of the way through my 30 Poems in 30 Days experiment. It’s been a fun project to do, and it has gotten the creative juices flowing as I had hoped. I’ve written on a variety of topics – technology, love, nature, music. I hope to write a wrap-up in 10 days when the project completes. And if there have been any that have been your favorites, feel free to send that along.

In other news, I upgraded the blog to Movable Type 4.0 beta 3. They’re gradually fixing problems and getting the application on firmer ground. Now that I’ve used WordPress for some projects, I can really appreciate now how much superior Movable Type is. It’s a powerful tool with an especially rich templating language. If you want finesse and control over your online publishing, MT is the best. I’m gradually getting used to the radical differences in the user interface over versions 3.35 and below. It’s organized in fairly different ways, which make sense. I’ve been using Movable Type since February 2003, and have been very happy with it. I’m glad too that it has gone back to being a free application. It’s even going the open source route.

In other other news, I’m totally digging the new Björk album Volta. There’s a lot to like there. I usually don’t associate her songs with turn-it-up-and-jam kind of stuff, but the song Declare Independence fairly rocks! [Note to Faust: Can you make this the next Daniel R Stout Rockin’ Song of the Show for the next Freeform Faust show on KWLC?]
