A high-profile defection from MovableType

Following up on the MovableType licensing fiasco, diveintomark.org migrated to Wordpress pretty much overnight: Freedom 0 [dive into mark].

I'm looking into wordpress, Textpattern, and even slash. I'm also holding off on anything major until I see how the whole MT licensing thing settles out.

I'm also toying with resurrecting my homegrown blog tools but I'd have to port them from the old ibm.com AFS environment and add some code to write RSS and Atom feeds.

Saturday doings

We met up with Cam at Noho Star for brunch. I had a fabulous Tomato and Thyme soup followed by a Ham & Cheese omelette.

We walked over to Seize sur Vingt to pick up some shirts for Lisa and then we headed to Crumpler and checked out the bags but managed not to buy any. They are all very cool, and we actually need a daypack sort of bag for Frisket's stuff but nothing caught our eyes.

Then we just sort of wandered around NoLita/SoHo and then home. I picked up Frisket from Monstermutt and dragged her back home.
