Just an update:
The Internal Server Errors and the resulting double-posts are getting out of hand, we know. Please bear with us as we work toward a solution.
Posted by jpoulos at September 13, 2002 09:49 AMI'm getting this once or twice a day with my implementation of MT 2.21 (installed by Ben!) so I wonder if it's an architectural issue. It's no big deal for me to go back in and delete multiple FPPs to my blog but it is a tad annoying.
Posted by: gen on September 13, 2002 09:57 AMAs you can see, I got the message too late. Can you delete one of em" Thanks overlords!
Posted by: KevinSkomsvold on September 13, 2002 10:03 AMWhile we are experiencing this problem perhaps our more experienced double posters could give us some hints on how to gracefully cover after we've (to borrow Thomcat Carlos Williams's phrase) splatted.
Witchstone's "post, dammit!" is, of course, a classic as are dong_resin's variations on "And that's how strongly I feel about it".

Oh shit, sorry about that. I swear I triple-checked, backed away from the keyboard, refreshed and flossed.

Let me just try reinstalling MT (I've got Mena on the phone)...
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 10:29 AM
Tell Mena my "Moveable Type Rocks" t-shirt hasn't arrived yet. Oh wait, here they are. There's two of them.
Posted by: KevinSkomsvold on September 13, 2002 10:32 AMThere's two of them.
Why would that be, Kevin? Anyway, I think we admins need a holiday - somewhere where we've already been and will certainly return to, straight after we've left. The pride of Ouachitas comes to mind.
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 10:57 AMoh great, the post that was supposed to go there is gone.
I'm taking the next two weekendsd off for family and my birthdays for get drubk like a viking.
Posted by: tj on September 13, 2002 11:46 AMOK, trying tj's "post you motherfucker" challenge.
Here is Mark Fiore's brilliant new "Why We Should Invade Iraq" animation (despite my many political disagreements with it) and I'm going to try and...drum roll... try a single post here...
Nope. Shite!
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 11:59 AMFor shame, I don't know who the fifth guy is - if the fourth is Jeffrey Dahmer and not someone else.
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:11 PMYou can tell I'm hogging the microphone because it's almost Shabbat and Yom Kippur on Monday so I won't be able to be partying with my fellow simio-amantes for a long while, cantcha?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:14 PMIsn't it the bass player from ZZ Top; the guy who ripped off the "Smoke on the Water" riff?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:26 PMI'd like to solve the psycho puzzle, Pat.
It spells "Miguel"
Or that Indian guy that fubcked up George Harrison's contribution to Sargent Pepper's?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:30 PMStill, who would you, if forced, rather have dinner with (no touching)? Saddam every time, right?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:32 PMYou know, say what you must about Saddam, but you just can't deny that he's a big jolly sum'bitch.
Posted by: dong resin on September 13, 2002 12:33 PMHeh.. I typed that before seeing Miguel's comment.
We seem to have a consensus, here.
Be nice to Miguel. If I remember correctly he will have to fast on Yom Kippur, no food, no water. Technically I don't think he is supposed to even brush his teeth.
Oh, on an unrelated note I too think contestant #5 is Charles Manson.
It's true. He likes a drink; his smile is winning; he doesn't give a fuck about Islam, he's not fazed by Bush and he has a sick, enduring sense of humour.
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:38 PMOh, and if that other dude is Jeffrey Dahmer, I heard he became a Christian while in the pen.
Posted by: b****fire on September 13, 2002 12:38 PMYeah he just got a little confused on the whole transubstantiation thing.
Posted by: kafkaesque on September 13, 2002 12:45 PMAn honest,linguistic note. Bunnyfire or anyone else: can someone very deeply unpleasant, such as a serial killer, be called a "dude"? Is there no affectionate residue to the term?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:48 PMDude can be used for any and every occasion. Serial killers would be referred to as "Psycho Dudes" or "Dude, this guy's eating my leg."
Posted by: kafkaesque on September 13, 2002 12:50 PMdamn ye doubles!
Could it be that MT is, in fact, working fine and that the so-called double posts so far are in fact a blatant act of saturation, grossly viral advertising?
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:51 PMNot really, Miguel.
I've been referring to Bush as "that kind of slow dude" for months, now.
So in "dude" there's no inflection of intimacy, understanding or affection? Well, now I know. Cheers, Kaf! (I know that exclamation mark looks uncool in English but I must be true to mine one language, du..., I mean, fella.)
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 12:54 PMHey, I thought I'd reserved that endearment for you!
Posted by: brittney on September 13, 2002 12:54 PMHey, the Ayatollah's pretty damn similar looking, no? And I've never seen Manson with a beard longer than this.
Posted by: Ufez Jones on September 13, 2002 12:57 PMAnd, no, I won't let it go until we solve this mystery.
Posted by: Ufez Jones on September 13, 2002 12:58 PM
That's no Charlie Manson, Ufez - that's John Cleese!
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 01:14 PM"Dude" can be both affectionate and/or critical:
"That is one helluva fucked-up dude."
"Dude, let's eat graham crackers now that we're baked. I'm so hungry, dude."
"I don't know who that dude thinks he is, but I ain't giving him no money for that suck-ass blotter."
dong resin got it right about George: That is one slow dude.

Whee, witchstone! Share the prize with Dong!
Oh and Ufez - that's no Charlie Manson; that's John Cleese!
curses, foiled again. I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for those pesky kids and that chimp!!!
Posted by: Ufez Jones on September 13, 2002 01:20 PMDespite being a paranoid sort, I'm not even afraid to slag Mr. Bush because I know by the time he reads this far down the thread he'll be well out of office.
It's almost cute the way his lips move like that when he reads.
He tries so hard.
Well... between rounds of golf.
Posted by: dong resin on September 13, 2002 01:26 PMBack off, witchstone, the prize is all mine!
...y' know, unless it's socks or something.
How heavy is the box?
See you all Tuesday, dear friends! You should have received your records (remember the swap?) by then...
Lots of love to you all!
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 02:09 PMdoes yom kippur mean "stay away from 9622" in hebrew?
Posted by: witchstone on September 13, 2002 02:17 PMNo time now even to swap cocktail recipes! Wife's in a huff - two minutes to candle lighting... Love all!
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 02:27 PMThe above pictures, Did anyone see David Letterman and the Prez, he said Saddam Hussein was a Thug, go Clinton, though I never voted for him.
Posted by: thomcatspike on September 13, 2002 02:34 PMBut Miguel, wait, I needed to know what's in a Salty Dawg.
Miguel?
Migsy?
*tumbleweeds*
*crickets*
*cold wind*
I feel so alone.
Posted by: witchstone on September 13, 2002 02:38 PMSalty Dog: Vodka, grapefruit, salt and lemon.
Yom Kippur falls on my 40th birthday. I'll be fasting and atoning, too, but come sunset on Monday, I switch over to the Other Guy's team to celebrate. It's the 24-hour sin cycle.
Posted by: liam on September 13, 2002 03:01 PMHey, congrats Liam!
[got to get on his good side and get in the will. Not much time left!]
Posted by: kafkaesque on September 13, 2002 03:12 PMYou know how those Brits are, Kaf. Tightfisted from beyond the grave. I wouldn't hope for much.
Posted by: witchstone on September 13, 2002 03:17 PMthat's the scotts, witchstone.
but don't mind me, i'm drunk.
wait, what about us scotts? oh, you mean the Scottish folk. Ne'er minde.

Posted by: adampsyche on September 13, 2002 08:43 PMYou are never alone, witchstone. Sawltee dawg secret: a good American vodka (Rain, Skyy)and double the grapefruit juice.
Yom!
(I'll probably go to Hell for this)
Posted by: Miguel on September 13, 2002 08:51 PMI glimpsed last night tomorrow's embarrassment at the above post.
I can see the damn future.
Posted by: brittney on September 14, 2002 04:35 PMi think it should be a new 9622 rule that everyone has to post at least once whilst drubk.
Posted by: scribblative on September 14, 2002 07:49 PMI need a bye on that one.
(I can bring a doctor's note if necessary.) ;-)
Posted by: b****fire on September 14, 2002 08:00 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
