Mysterious cheesecake test post - UPDATED (now with even more mystery)
The finished product, originally uploaded by AMK.
UPDATE! THIS JUST IN!
Movable Type is working again, but I don't really feel any better. It's like when you take your car in to the shop and the mechanic tries to reproduce the problem, but it doesn't happen, and he sends you on your way only to wonder when that scary grinding noise will start again.
If Movable Type could talk, it would have been making a scary grinding noise yesterday. I could post to it from my Flickr account, but if I tried to open my blog admin page, it just came up with a blank screen instead. Today, all appears normal.
If I were superstitious, I'd say that Uri Gellar's fork was #1, the Emerald Formula was #2, and the poltergeists in my MT installation is #3. Weird or bad things arrive in threes, after all.
Really, though, this MT installation has been a bit wonky from the beginning, as you may have experienced at some point when trying to comment. I don't know when I'll have time to fix it, so for now I am going to throw salt over my shoulder, knock on wood, cross my fingers and toes, and hope it keeps working

Comments
Yes, it's a random picture of a cheesecake.
I seem to be suddenly having problems with Movable Type, so I can't delete this test post. And I may never actually be able to post anything again. So my entire website may be reduced to commenting on this one random picture of a cheesecake. You never know.

Still broken. Sigh.

See.
MT is crap.
Wordpress ftw.

I don't know that MT is crap. I do know this.

Damn. Why didn't that link work. Don't answer that. It is my fault for sure.
It was supposed to be a link to this:

I can see why you'd suspect that this might have had something to do with it, but I'm not hosted on TypePad. So there's no reason why their power outage should have affected my MT installation. Hmmm.

Bad vibes, I suppose.

Must be eddies in the space-time continuum then.
