So, last week in my zealous cleanup of my PowerBook's hard drive (in preparation for upgrading it), I accidentally deleted the database for this blog. Ugh.
The good thing about being a programmer is that I didn't have to hire anybody to write a utility to walk through the tree of files, pull out the info I need from each HTML file, put it into Movable Type's import format (yay, date conversions! Woo.), and then suck the whole lot back into Movable Type, recreate the templates (which you can bet are now linked to external files...), and rebuild. While I was at it, I upgraded to the latest version of MT.
And the bad thing about being a programmer is that I didn't have to hire anybody to... yeah.
