PayPal

Uhmpfh .. This weblog was violating user agreements on PayPal (probably due to my Art & Images series .. ) So I cannot request to donate anymore through this website.

But .. you can still donate through scrapedfeeds.com this other website from me is only serving news through RSS and should not violate any agreements.

Posting with a Mobile Phone to Movabletype 3

I am using this Perl script, orginally taken from this website

The script is altered: no authentication through mail-address and this first version script has the username and pwd stored in the file. Version 2 of this script is a no go for me due to the fact that the from and subject is encoded (iso 8859) from my mobile phone as shown in a previous entry. The script cannot rip and or detect these extra bogus characters causing the XML-RPC call not to work.

Some hints and tips

1. add username to /etc/mail/aliases (or /etc/aliases) ie.
ireceivethemail: “|sms.pl”

2. create with ln -s a symbolic link from the location of the sms.pl to /usr/adm/sm.bin/ otherwise sendmail cannot use this script when receiving mail.

Of course I know this script is far from perfect but it has been made in 2002 and I’ve not seen any updates since. I prefer this type of script above any other POP3 script cause with this I the entry is posted instantly and a cronjob is not necessary so that load keeps minimum on the server.

SMS 2 WEBLOG

I’m looking for a service provider who’s able to provide a XML-RPC service to have SMSes send to a Weblog .. (this weblog running movabletype).

I can do audblogging through xml-rpc but I want to do e-mail / sms also.

Anyone?

MovableType 3.0 issues

Just fixed some problems with MT 3.0. I was not able to control 1 weblog anymore. No user had really access to it anymore and there was 1 weblog where no user was attached anymore. The weblog was not displayed anymore but still noticed in the config of Movabletype.

With the help of the wonderful tool: MT-MEDIC I solved the problems.

Cleaning up the database with inactive non used weblogs and adding permissions to the users for 1 specific weblog.
