I make no attempts to cover up the fact that I'm a geek. I know that I have an unhealthy craving to play with technological things. This has led to a painful weekend. In an attempt to squeeze some more performance out of my server, I managed to botch things up so badly that it took the better part of two days to fix.

For those who care, this site is run on an old G3 PowerMac running Mac OS X. OS X is a Unix, and when you get comfortable with Unix you can make it do tricks that most operating systems can't do, or at least can't do easily. Unfortunately, Unices (is that the correct plural?) also have a nasty tendency to let you hang yourself. Which is, of course, exactly what I proceeded to do.

In any case, things are back up and running, and I've even updated to the latest version of Movable Type. Hopefully I won't ever have to do this again...
