Well, I've turned off the CAPTCHA thing for now as it has gone kaput.

Comment away.

Upgrading to Movable Type 4 has been one of the biggest pains in the ass I've had in over 5 years of blogging. (Though it's also possible that my host is at fault...)

Return of the Thing
Murdoc took a bit of an unscheduled break, but he's back now and regular posting will resume shortly. I know you can't wait....[READ]

Traveling Today
Murdoc is on the road (well, in the skies) today headed out to Denver for some day job training. Posting here at MO will continue to be a bit light, and if someone invites me to either tonight's or Thursday's playoff hockey game between Detroit and Colorado, all bets...[READ]

Major Tech Issues Today
My hosting company had astounding issues today, the latest in about three weeks of on-again, off-again service. My apologies to those who couldn't get through....[READ]

Happy Easter
I'll be traveling today and won't be back online until later tomorrow, so here's a Happy Easter from Murdoc and his family to you and yours....[READ]

MO's 5th Birthday
Hmmm. I almost missed the fact that today is Murdoc Online's fifth birthday. My first post was written after watching a speech by President Bush and many months passed before I started getting some readers. Now here Murdoc is, nearly ready to launch his world-conquering campaign, having recently passed his...[READ]

Comments
I've finally managed to get rid of the need to go to a separate page to post comments. You should be able to post comments directly from the individual post now, just like in the good old days. I tried something new and it appears to have worked perfectly the...[READ]

More problems
I've been encountering a weird error where MO's main page somehow gets republished with no posts. I suspect that it must have something to do with the scheduled post tool, so I'm going to disable that and see if it makes a difference. Once again, my apologies. I've been running...[READ]

Comments
Comments are back, sort of. You can post new comments by clicking the Post New Comment link at the bottom of each post, which will take you to a bare-bones version of the page with the new comment submission form on it. You can either sign in or post "anonymously",...[READ]

Danger Will Robinson!
You may have noticed that things have been a bit...ummm...shaky....around MO the past couple of days. Once in a while, ol' Murdoc begins thinking he really knows what he's doing. Sorry about that. Anyway, most of the dust has settled and I actually think we'll be back to 100%...[READ]

Upgrade
MO is undergoing an upgrade to Movable Type 4.01. Expect a few hiccups, but I've got a pretty good system down and I'm hoping this won't take long. UPDATE: I'm not sure what happened, but this seemed to go even better than I hoped for. I fear that's the first...[READ]

Merry Christmas
Murdoc is off shortly to engage in some serious festivities. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and very happy holidays. Please take a moment to remember our deployed servicemen and women who are away from their families. Those of us at home can celebrate because all of those...[READ]

Two million readers can't be wrong
Two million site visits since launching Murdoc Online on its own domain just over four years ago on December 7, 2003. I had run the site from various other locations since March of '03. Passed the milestone number last night and I totally missed it. Remember: If you've had...[READ]

Murdoc headed to sunny CA
I'm headed to California for a quick business (day job) trip and will try to post Friday evening. In the meantime, don't forget that it's the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The names of all 429 Sailors killed aboard the battleship USS Oklahoma (BB 37) during the Dec....[READ]

Murdoc Online: A Blog of the Day
Here's one for the virtual trophy case: Seems pretty cool. I hope I don't have to give an acceptance speech or anything. From the site: Presentation of these awards can bring acclaim and notoriety beyond their wildest imaginings. I don't know...I can imagine quite a bit......[READ]

Tech problems resolved?

Haven't hit a single deer yet
Murdoc's on the road again, and once again the wild-n-crazy Buckethead is going to help hold down the fort. I'm in the Denver area for the time being, running around looking for wifi after about four days without access or the chance to use what was available. Sorry for the...[READ]

Like a bad penny
I've made it back to Michigan and I barely hit any deer at all this time. Posting will resume shortly, though if Buckethead has more he's still free to post. A major thanks goes out to BH, who did a great job helping keep things going and his posts garnered...[READ]

Headed Back
I always think the best way to end a vacation is when you wish it would continue for a bit longer. That'e exactly where we are this morning as we load up and prepare for the trip back to Michigan. Look out, deer...Murdoc is on the road....[READ]
