Mooseman

Last week I spent time discussing a 2010 event, a possible Seacoast marathon. Read More

so, i finally bit the bullet and made the switch from movable type to wordpress. all of the movable type blogs that i’ve been hosting on breakingthetape.com have been sorely affected by the crap upgrade that we went through last year. if one blog got hit by tons of spam, the rest of the blogs suffered. if one blog had dynamic pages turned on, all blogs suffered when comments were submitted. it was a nightmare and i had several bloggers jump ship. when i set up scott with a new blog last month, i opted to use wordpress and was really impressed with how easy the installation and configuration was compared to movable type. so, with a couple of free moments this week, i exported my mt site and imported it into wordpress, slapped on a fresh coat of paint, hung some new photos and voila, new blog. moving all the feeds around is a little bit tricky and i’m still waiting for an updated plugin so i can point my rss feed to feedburner, but other than that, i’m pretty happy with the new digs. now comes the real chore of moving the rest of the family into the new house. on the training front, i’m happy to say that i’ve only been on the bike once since mooseman and haven’t touched the pool at the y since that race. and you know what? i’m quite content not to revisit the tri training until sometime next year. i’m having too much fun with my first love, running. lots of early morning trail runs with good friends [hi michelle , eric , repete , pete , greg and danica !] and long grinds in the hot california summer has my cup running over, thankyouverymuch. on a geek note, i finally took the time to code the twitter interface for breakingthetape.com. it’s currently just working one direction [entering a workout will automatically tweet the workout for you], but i’m working hard on setting up the ability to tweet your workout and have @breakingthetape parse the info and save the workout to your btt account. if you’re a breakingthetape.com user, check out your profileRead More
