No proxy support for MT-Blacklist
I've been trying to get MT-Blacklist working on Caduceus but it refused to play ball because it couldn't download the initial blacklist from some website or other.
It appears this is because there is no proxy support roled into its LWP code.
I've hacked ../plugins/Blacklist/lib/Blacklist/App.pm to contain the following after line 191 ..oh and 301...sloppy coding..:
my $proxy = new URI::URL('http://wwwcache.ncl.ac.uk:8080/');
my @no_proxy = ('medev.ac.uk','ncl.ac.uk');
$ua->proxy('http',$proxy);
$ua->no_proxy(@no_proxy);
$ua->timeout(20);
Now it works..
Hmmm.. Same problem in MT itself.. in lib/MT/App/CMS.pm and lib/MT/App/Comments.pm, which is weird coz they have support for proxies in the Trackback stuff.

MT login really slow on Caduceus
I've set up MT on Caduceus so that we can move the blogs off of minnesota onto it in due course.
The process seems quite straightforward. I can dump the database as follows:
mysqldump --no-defaults --compatible=mysql40 moveable_type > moveable_type_dump.19-07-2005.sql
I then have to comment out the LOCK and UNLOCK lines before and after inserts as phpMyAdmin didn't like these.
Once I'd changed the weblog config settings and rebuilt them it all worked fine and dandy, APART from the fact that logging in was REALLY slow.
This it appears, is because the script was failing to pull an MT news feed into this page, probably because the proxy environment variable isn't set for the Apache user.
The following is the solution, put:
NewsboxURL disable
into you mt.cfg file.
Logging in is slow and takes too long

Presentation about use of blogs and RSS for RLO peer review
This was posted by Phil Barker on the LTSN-Technical list and really set me on a different tack in my thinking about RLO evaluation, hence my current rabid bloggery:

Extracting DC and FOAF metadata from the MT table structure
I've just spent the day trying to extract some decent metadata for my blogs from the vanilla MT v3.121 database tables. There's enough information there for a quite a rich Dublin Core description of the blog itself plus a very basic FOAF entry. I've augmented the FOAF entry with a very very hacky new table.
This gives an RDF description of the site with dc:creator tied to the FOAF node to produce a correct graph.
To get the raw RDF see:
<http://minnesota.ncl.ac.uk/mt_metadata.rdf.php?blog_url=http://minnesota.ncl.ac.uk/fuzzybuckets/>
Note that you pass the blog URL to the PHP script as the argument.
To render this up as HTML I then run this through an XSL stylesheet to give this:
<http://minnesota.ncl.ac.uk/render_mt_metadata.php?blog_url=http://minnesota.ncl.ac.uk/fuzzybuckets/>
