Who Am I?

My name is John and I am a 27 year old systems administrator. I do web design. I like backpacking. I use WordPress. On this site I talk mostly about the things I like. This is a site about me.

Things I Do...

I have several projects I maintain, when they are done, I usually replace them with other things to keep me busy. Currently I am working on taking WordPress Junkie live. Contact me if you would like to help.

Movable Type 4, WordPress Killer?

Movable Type 4I have been using WordPress as my blog CMS for several years now. I love how far they have come with their product, and the community online for wordpress is amazing. Some of the best things about wordpress are the nearly infinite plugins and themes, and of course, their love for open source. So, why am I saying movable type 4 is a wordpress killer?

WordPressLet’s be honest, when you make titles that anger people, get on their nerves, or make them think twice about something, they are more likely to read. When I read that movable type 4 was coming out, I read the blog… Their product has been going downhill, or should I say, stalling since this new item was mentioned. Tons of people went to wordpress for their CMS, but before wordpress, movable type was the king of the game. If their coders are half as good as this press release, I will certainly be paying attention to the details of MT4.

Open ID, different types of page management, memcache, integrated user registration, and rich media. Almost all of these are available with wordpress. One big difference, all of these will be integrated with MT4. So the problem I have is, do I try out the MT4, or stay with WP? Of course I will try it out, but am I willing to switch back? If Brad Fitzpatrick is involved with MT4 as much as the press release is insinuating, (Open ID, memcache) I am willing to jump on board.
