Took the plunge last night

Took the plunge last night and upgraded this site to Moveable Type 3.01D. The process was simple. However, I did have to upload some files several times to get everything to work. It was worth the effort. The new features are great.

I have been getting a lot of span under version 2.6; so have instituted the system registration process. To comment, one now needs to register. Have also added all the spammers to the block list. Hope this cuts down on the spam. Don’t know why anyone would span a blog. They offer nothing but annoyance.

Completed a fun piece of code at work yesterday. It provides offices across the country with the ability to search for suppliers within a specified mile radius. The resultant list leads to product/contract/pricing details. Using these suppliers saves big bucks for the company. The code uses Zip code latitude and longitude to calculate mileage. The project is written is ASP.NET C#. Have been seriously considering moving www.my-list.com to this architecture. Currently my-list it all in perl-cgi. The biggest hurdle is that I also host this blog on my-list. Does MT support the windows platform???
