Another one of my hacks yesterday was to beef up Movable Type's support for the metaWeblog API. Of course many services and clients will likely benefit from this, but the inspiration for the hack was the shock and surprise that my new favorite bookmarking service, Magnolia, could not auto-post to my blog because Movable Type lacked support for the getCategories method. It was a quick fix to make, and I am happy to say that the fix should go out in the next version of Movable Type later this year. For those who can't wait that long, I have put together a simple XMLRPCServer.patch you can apply to your MT install in the meantime. Or I suppose I could make my XMLRPCServer.pm file available for you in its entirety. Yeah, that's easier.

Reading and Watching
Weeds - Season 4
After another season in the 'burbs I was losing interest. Weeds was just getting too dried out and stale. But Season Four really turned the season around for me.
Caprica
There are things I like, things I don't. The production is excellent though - which is why I will tune in this Fal.
Religulous
Yet another documentarian, like Mike Moore, whose ideas I 100% agree with, but whose delivery hurts the message. Everyone should watch this film.
The Wire - The Complete Fifth Season
I am already 2 episodes in. Man this is going to be doozy of a season. McNulty, what are you doing!?
John Adams (HBO Miniseries)
Surprised to learn that the first episode is more like Law & Order 1770 than a historical bio-pic.
W.
I have worked with people who can't help but fail upwards. It is amazing one can do it all the way to the White House.
Humboldt County
Who knew everyone in Humboldt County is in the business of selling weed? But judging by this movie it would be easy to come to that conclusion.
The Dark Knight
Already watched it twice. Thanks Michelle! Special features revealed that they actually built a fully functional motorcycle to serve as the Bat-cycle!
The Children of Hurin
Hoping this book will pick up soon and be less like reading the Bible and more like reading regular old boring prose.
