The big hubub today is that MoveableType, the system that runs this journal has been upgraded to 3.0 (still beta). What's irks a lot of people is that they're starting to charge money for it. Correction, they'll still have a free version, but it's severly limited. Much of the reactions have been pretty negative as freeloaders are complaining that they can't freeload anymore.

I don't think they should get so much flack for trying to make a living. However, they should have known their audience. My own experience with them is that I *offered* to donate $40. A month later, my Paypal payment came back unclaimed. Hey, if they really don't need the money, I'm not going to bother giving it to them.

I've also noticed that my manga listings is getting to be a little out of hand. At the rate I'm reading, it'll be pretty unusable soon. Gotta figure out how to re-layout that page, and while I'm at it, see if I should move away from Moveabletype.
