Movable Type Nonsense
While trying to publish my previous entry (Synthy), I was getting horrible permission denied errors.
Grrr just got another one and will have to redo this post :(
It wasn't the usual /tmp full problem this time. Looks like you can't use i f r a m e code in MT posts... hrmm...
hell you can't even *say* it... most disturbing!! And very frustrating given that I've just had to redo this post *again* :(
The other bit of nonsense I was looking at while trying to figure this out, is that since August 4, I've been getting several core dumps a day in my MT cgi directory. I looked through the logs at these times and sure enough, comment spammers were hitting my blog at the time :( Might have to upgrade a dot point or something...
