blogging feel

My last post was on September, 2003. In fact, I stopped actively blogging since July last year. It’s been 7 months! Seven months in blogging could mean a decade. Anyway, I lost track of what happening in blogland, didn’t mind what version MT is nowadays, and I even forgot my MT userid/passwd!! That’s funny, I have to go to my ISP control panel and access to the MySQL db, checking the mt_author, and then realizing for security consideration, I did choose a tricked username instead of my familiar id. The rule is: it’s always a trade-off between security concern and convenience of users.

If you’re going to leave your blog for a long while, be sure to put all necessary access in place (e.g. utilize Mozilla password manager).

[Update] Amazing, most of the stuff still work: the pinging, related entries/blog plugins.…etc. Yeah, the software is reliable. :-)
