The original person who posted the BBC Countdown video’s back in late 2006 has returned and reposted the video’s to YouTube. See countdown remix one below:

Aaaah SixApart is trying to get out of the furnace. Well. (Posting orignally via my 2nd Favorite blog, TechnoSalior.)

Movable Type announced today that Movable Type 4 would be open source. This is obviously a retreat on their move to a closed model back in Movable Type 3. If you recall, MT 3 came under a tremendous amount of fire for moving away from the “free” model and created a side effect of moving WordPress into the role of most popular blogging software. They have continued to be under fire and the pressure has finally mounted to the point where Movable Type 4 will be open source again.

Of course, Bilbo Baggins, the hero of The Hobbit learned some pivotal lessons in his trooping around Middle Earth – lessons that the fine folks at SixApart have also apparently learned on their sojourn.

• “There and Back Again” was the name of Bilbo’s memoirs upon his return from finding the ring and seizing great dragon treasure. He was completing his memoirs as we take up the start of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit was supposedly Tolkien’s translation of Bilbo’s writings. The thing is that now that MT has gone from free to paid to free again. Unfortunately, they still haven’t gotten the clue and are charging for the GPL code. Stay tuned as I may host the thing for free here at Technosailor just for people who don’t want to pay the price. Read the rest of this entry »
