The last two mornings, I have woken up entirely too early. Yesterday it was at 6 AM; this morning it was at 6:45 AM. I stayed in bed this morning for about half an hour, then finally gave up and got up.
I thought I would come write in here, only to discover that I couldn't log into the MovableType system anymore. It seems that my hosting provider has switched servers, and, for whatever reason, the new server doesn't have some Perl tool that the old one did, and that MT relies on. OK, that was easy enough to fix. But then I still couldn't log in; I kept getting an 'invalid login'.

Kind of annoying, but, I suppose, far better than not recharging at all.
