Got Our Ass to Mars!

Front page of JPL's web site as of 9 PM PST: "Spirit Rover Lands on Mars"

NASA's Deep Space Network has received a signal confirming that Mars Exploration Rover Spirit is alive after rolling to a stop on the surface of Mars.

I can't help but feel a twinge of pride. Congratulations MER team!

ThreadedComments Patch for MT 3.11

Threaded discussions rule, but most weblogs don't provide the ability to reply directly to a comment. To fill this gaping void, Alexei Kosut wrote a cool ThreadedComments plugin for MovableType, but it was created for use with version 2.6. Those of us on the bleeding edge were outta luck. Until now.

I've created a patch file that adds support for ThreadedComments to MovableType version 3.11.

To install this fine plugin, just follow the instructions provided by Alexei, but use my patch file in place of his. Because you will be modifying the source code that runs your blog, I strongly recommend using the --backup option to the patch program as follows:

patch --backup -p0 < /path/to/where/you/downloaded/mt3.11-threaded-comments.patch

Disclaimer: This site has been running with my patch applied for about a week and nothing bad has happened, but your mileage may vary, etc. The patch is offered with absolutely no warranty, guarantee or manatee.
