So I was informed today that my blog throws errors when one tries to comment. If you have tried to comment in the last couple months and could not I apologize. If you tried to comment in the last couple months and couldn’t, shame on you for not telling me sooner.

I tried updating Typo to the brand new 4.0.0 but this ended up screwing around with my admin pages and reverting back to 2.6.0 didn’t fix it. Summary: I’m getting tired of Typo.

Mephisto to the rescue! This is a new blog engine with some cms capability from the talented team of Rick Olson(Development) and Justin Palmer(UI/Design). Rick Olson, better known as technoweenie, has been very helpful to me with my Rails development. He wrote several plugins that I use and has answered many of my questions on irc.

Unfortunately Mephisto requires a gem that Dreamhost does not have and I am not allowed to install gems. So I have to wait until my tech support request goes through to install Mephisto on my server. Mephisto is still in heavy development, so things might be hairy, but at the very least it should be interesting.
