so, i'm in taiwan now, and even though this drupal site isn't live yet, i'm going to write in it anyway.
we are in an awesome hotel, called hotel national taichung. free internet!!! i don't think i've missed internet this much before. i think this case is "worse" than usual because i am in the middle of trying to figure out webhosting stuff.
on that subject, i am backing up my old movabletype from my free 1and1 host and copying it over to my new bigbluehost host. even though i've got the new movabletype setup on this server, i wanted to have the old one, too, and since i get unlimited mysql databases, it doesn't hurt. so i backed up the tables from the 1and1 database (can't backup the entire database as a whole.. tried importing it, got an error about creating a new database, and login and password, etc.), created a new database and user on bigbluehost, then imported the backed up tables to the new database. worked perfectly. and now i'm ftping my movabletype folder to my laptop, then uploading it to bigbluehost. then i gotta change the database settings so that movabletype reads the correct database (i.e., the "old" one that i just created). i'm hoping it works, cuz i haven't been able to do normal movabletype stuff in a while, ever since i tried figuring out all this new shit. well, we'll see.
maybe i'll write some stuff about taiwan later, after i've gotten some sleep. i've gotten like 3 hours of sleep in the past.. 36 hours.
