Spent a day at the Nurburgring circuit in a fast car, ideally the McLaren F1, but a BMW/Mercedes Benz/Audi/Lotus will suffice.
QotD: The Big To Do List
MovableType vs. WordPress
There are many discussions on the web about which one is better, and why one is more popular with a certain group of users than the other. Here is what I think why WordPress is more popular among the causal blogger than MT.
Note #1: I think MovableType is, in general, a better blogging system (e.g. more scalable, more flexible architecture, etc.) but oftentimes technical merits do not count for much when causal users evaluate software.
Note #2: I am comfortable in unix shell so that's not where I burnt my time on.
Fact: I've spent around 4 hours trying and failed to install the infrastructure (CGI and Perl's DBI and DBI::mysql or DBI::sqlite) on OS X to get MovableType to run.
Fact: I only need to spend around 30 minutes to get WordPress to run.
Dolby Headphone @ TWiT
I've heard about Dolby Headphone encoding for a while now and was impressed by the demo track. But the latest MacBreak Weekly podcast @ TWiT is encoded using it and I must say, I am very impressed. I hope they continue to encode their regular podcasts using Dolby Headphone too.
