In the olden days, when I was but a Dilacerator-in-training, I used to revel in the thrill of living on the bleeding edge of technology. Now that I am older, more sedate (and senescent) I know better than to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of anything. With Movable Type arriving at version 2.63 and me stuck at 2.21, I though it was time to upgrade. So I did.

The biggest difference is that I immediately made use of the built-in search function, which you can now see in the left column. I've long wanted to add a search function, but it used to be external MT module, so I never bothered. Since version 2.5 it's been included in the distribution. Other than that, nothing should have changed, although I'll probably tinker with some details over the weekend. I have a full backup, but hopefully that won't be needed. I don't think I'm in danger of destroying anything. Such thoughts have usually been followed by catastrophic data losses in the past.

Time for a shot of Laphroaig Cask Strength. A small one.
