Listing all entries for editing in Movable Type
I’m using Movable Type 2.6 as a CMS to manage a couple of non-blog websites. Each entry is a page. When I choose “Edit Entries” in the MT interface, I want to see all the entries, not just the last 20. Here’s how to change the default from 20 to all entries.
In your MT directory, [...]

Sleep that knits up the ravell’d sleeve of care
Stand down from red alert — fourteen hours of sleep have improved the hand situation noticably. This is good.
Oh, no, not the hands!
Couple of weeks ago, I started feeling very, very perky. So perky, in fact, that remission seemed to be in the air. And so it was. I’ve been leaving the wheelchair in the car and using crutches in the house. I even walked up and down the stairs a couple of times.
Then came Christmas Eve, [...]
West Wing, II
I’ve now seen “In the Room” (getting ready for China trip) and “Impact Winter” (China trip). Yes, there were some stupid things. Having the Surgeon General say that losing the use of your hands is like having a headache — deeply stupid. But the essense of the statement — you’ve lost functionality, what are you [...]
Barry Corbet
Barry Corbet dies at age 68.
Corbet was best known in these parts as a skier, climber and filmmaker, but had another life after spinal cord injury. Take a look at New Mobility’s Barry Corbet Reader.
West Wing
I haven’t watched West Wing for several years. Now I belatedly realise that I probably should have watched the last three episodes (the president’s MS kicks in with a vengeance). Anybody know when it goes into re-runs? I don’t have cable.
Winter Solstice
Happy Birthday to Jody and me!!
Power
The power subsystem engineer on my satellite at work has a poster on his office door:
Power - Everything Else is Just a Load!
Last weekend I helped my friend L set up her new computer. She’s moving from an old, virus- and spyware-ridden Windows Me system. She is very foggy about how she connects to the [...]
Politics of Linking
Just in case anybody cares, I use my blogroll (the list of links under “PEOPLE”) as a bookmarks list. I visit each of those links every day. If a site is rarely updated, I’ll probably remove it. It has nothing to do with whether I like the person. If the bulk of the entries are [...]
Signs of Christmas
It must be getting close to Christmas; I put notes on three cars today - all had legitimate handicapped permits, and all were parked in the access aisle.
Is there an English teacher in house?
Via Fazia, What corporate America can’t build: A sentence.
I guess I should be grateful for my liberal arts education (not usually perceived as an asset in aerospace).
Disability Entitlement
I have an ongoing problem with discounts given to people with disabilities. There seem to be two arguments for this; one is something like, “People with disabilities have lower employment and less earning power than people without disabilities, therefore price discounts are good social policy”. The other one is something like, “People with disabilities have [...]
Today
Today, go read Dorothea’s entry Respect.
Saint Barbara’s Day
Well, I didn’t bake Kletzenbrot, but I did bake Silesian pepper cookies:
Combine over medium heat, and stir until the butter melts:
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter
Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine:
4 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 2/3 cups almonds, chopped small (I used hazelnuts, because I didn’t have any almonds)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp [...]
Accessibility quote of the week
Scott gets right to the meat when he says: “In my personal experience the same issues meant that I could not travel independently (read, ’spend my tourist dollars locally’) when I was last in Abergenny, Wales; Oxford, London, or the Cotswalds, England.”
Another condo association in the news
Condo reaches settlement over wheelchair ramp
What is it with condo associations? Do people’s brains just start to leak out their ears the minute they’re appointed to one of these things? Is it something in the drywall?
