Tag: Movabletype

I used Movabletype from 2001 – 2006. However, Wordpress eventually won and I’ve been using Wordpress since 2008.

The Internet

I had my first website in 1997. It was composed using Microsoft World and simply hitting the “translate to html” button. I used free hosts like Geocities, Angelfire and Lycos. Back then it was kind of a badge of honor as most people were not yet online and most people didn’t know what URLs were nor HTTP.

New Look

I had forgotten that it’s been forever since a post and MT automatically archived those entries which I thought I had accidentally deleted! I see that the…… Continue reading Upgraded

For some reason there is an internal server error for the archive and recent…… Continue reading Old Entries

Saigon Stories – Today’s Adventure

Today was actually not so adventuresome. However, today the Buddhist funeral infront of my house ended. The old lady who spoke to me in French not 6 months before and told me to “Firmez le porte doucemont” passed away. They then erected a shrine and had chants, prayers and visitors for three days. It was…… Continue reading Saigon Stories – Today’s Adventure
