breaking things, danah style

So, as you may have noticed, my blog has been down. For a while. In typical danah style, i managed to figure out how to break things in a weird configuration that tormented everyone. So, you see, the CGI processes on MT last for a long time, taking up a lot of memory and time. Due to a really bad situation with spam bots who were running CGI scripts on my server, the admin decided to limit scripts, figuring that anything that was running too long was probably a big bad ugly mistake or a cruel bot. They weren’t prepared for MT. Or for my use of it as i tried to merge two blogs and rebuild >1000 entries. Oops. So, down and down the spiral went.

Bless Boris, Glenn and Ben for putting the pieces together.
