Thanks for the suggestions in the comments below, in reply let me say that, yes the host does support PHP and ASP, so I could, given enough time, figure out how to write a referrer script myself and have it display properly. (They don’t support MySQL, so I don’t tend to use PHP at all right now) Perhaps at some point, I’ll do that, although I think it’s the tables that create the problem, so if I could find a tableless CSS solution, I could use the other script. Of course, which is going to take me longer, learning CSS or fiddling with an ASP script?

The other solution, using Movable Type is a no-go until at least March 2003. My current host doesn’t support the required Perl mods to run MT. I’m paid up through then and if a good solution hasn’t made itself available by then, I’ll consider switching hosts so that I can use MT. On the other hand, how many hosts are going to support ASP/Access, PHP/MySQL and the proper Perl mods for MT, that I can afford?

Or, maybe, I’ll do a Radio trial and see how that works, but it has other limitations that tend to make it a bit unworkable for me. (I post from 3 different computers regularly, and none of them is left running 24/7.)

Yeah, I guess I’m just difficult. *L*

    Not because it didn’t work, but because the latest update repeatedly failed to install, but constantly kept popping up a balloon from the Systray to ask me to download the same update that failed to install. Out of pure annoyance, I uninstalled the program. Some nights, that’s how I feel. Update: Thanks to the May…

    I started seeing this yesterday, and we’re usually a couple of days behind on new outbreaks, simply by virtue of being small and not very cutting edge. By the end of yesterday 20 of them had been intercepted by Postini, more than that have been today. That’s a pretty big outbreak for our network. That…

  • IE Tab in Firefox

    Picked up this story at Download Squad the other day, about a Firefox Extension that will run an Internet Explorer engine inside one of your Firefox tabs. This is kinda cool if, like me, you work some place that uses Outlook Web Access, which runs much smoother in IE, or has an intranet site that…
