Quick recording today on the way home on how I get into a new platform, touching on Wordpress, Drupal, Movable Type and more.

On my drive home yesterday afternoon I called up BlogTalkRadio's Cinch service and recorded some thoughts on my early experiences with Movable Type, which I'm looking at while researching some stuff for DiSo. Topics covered:

• installing MT on OS X

• general UI

• blog menus v. system menus

• extending Movable Type

Sorry for the dearth of content here lately, but life has been a bit overwhelming. One link for you: I've started an Election 2.0 group over on Ma.gnolia (waves at Larry), where I'm bookmarking "Links about new trends and ideas in election law, theory, and practice", as well as links relating to this year's election. It's a public group - feel free to join, contribute, and follow along. Please keep it on-track and respectful!

I'm using the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine to compile a Visual History of Redmonk.net.

Just wanted to follow up my post of the other day with a comment I just posted over on The B List.

I was browsing my own archives, and came across this post from Dec. 17th, 2004:

Tim Bray has a ongoing (ha) series of predictions for 2008, generated as a response to this request from Sun.

This started out as a post to the diso mailing list, but drifted. ;-)
