[TriLUG] any other webloggers here?

[Larry Karnowski]

I write a weblog (a bit behind on it right now since work is so busy) 
about twangy, alt-country, Bluegrass music (http://www.hickorywind.org) 
in the NC, TN, and VA area.    <Insert Mike Johnson joke here.>

I use Movable Type, and strongly recommend it's use.  I know it's not 
fully open source which is a big drawback, but I'm pretty sure there are 
versions available with the Artistic License (Perl's license).  That's 
what they were saying at OSCON 2002 anyway.

The couple who wrote the software, Ben and Mena Trott, are good people 
who got laid off during the dot-com burst, and are just trying to make a 
living.  They admitted openly that they want desperately to fully open 
the source but weren't sure how they could continue to support 
themselves if they did.  (There was a *LOT* of discussion about this at 
OSCON 2002, so I don't want to get into it again.)  I'd rather it be 
open, but use it anyway.

Movable Type gives you more control over your setup, which I know on 
this mailing list is pretty important.  And the "trackback" feature, 
which to be honest, you have to be a blogger to really understand, is 
really, really cool.  It basically let's two or more bloggers "talk to 
each other" through related posts.  Damn, that really doesn't do it 
justice.  Anyway...

What was the rtpblogger lunch?  Is there a mailing list or website?

Thanks,
Larry
