$69.95 US … that’s what it would cost to upgrade this website from MT 2.661 to 3.0 …..
It costs me $30 p/a to supply this entire website to a few thousand visitors …
hmmm.. think i’ll be sticking with the free version. Does everything that I want, and i’m sure there will be plenty of weblogs out there with my sentiment in mind

Though concurrent to this, I just don’t get how people are suddenly up in arms about the loss of ‘their’ free product. These are the same users, hauled onto the bandwagon after the founders of the company put their lives on hold to support the unappreciated masses.
Great products come out all the time for free, but for them to grow and evolve someone needs to open their wallets and pay. Though far too expensive for me (and plenty of open-source alternatives will always be around), it’s still a fantastic product that in reality is incredibly cheap.
(ed: yes, i’m well aware I contradicted myself. But for a writer or author, that expense is only minor compared to the benefits it can provide. For me, it’s difficult because I have seven authors [six of who never post :P], but one of the sole reasons I started using MT was for it’s multi-author functionality and great price.)

Well, you were all actually going to get a decent post today, but the girl has called (late) to tell me she’ll be at the station in 2 minutes. Whilst writing is a great release, a Thai dinner, couple of beers and indulgent snuggles are far higher on my agenda.
Loving all your work

Rach: Unfortunately we lost the post
… It’s good to hear from you again. And yes, i’ll have to start thinking of conversational topics from here on out.
No use complaining if I can’t even be inspiring!
Wonton: Dude, it’s one drop-down box. Choose a category and hit publish. It isn’t brain surgery!
And e-mail me about deleting my old blog!
