am technical genius goddess girl

I solved a technical problem and I rock. Thus, the goofy club website I've been fretting over is up and working.

Now, there was probably a more elegant solution to this problem, but mine still worked. Because I am a mind-blowing genius. Or at least someone who doesn't give up easily.

Onto the next problem. Which is one of the following: design project for acquaintance, new design for red polka, or new backend structure for WHB. It should be the first, but I wish it was the second (a new look would be nice, and unlike the other projects, completely stress-free).

Hi, yourself.

It wasn't that huge a technical problem, just that the hosting provider had configured the account so none of the users could chmod files, which led to Movable Type spitting out whacko error messages. If I'd been using an FTP client that displayed error messages, I would have figured it out the first time.

The cool thing, though, is that I called upon my ancient and rotting Linux/Unix knowledge reserves (the calling up of which required blood sacrifices and such, as I am committedly non-geeky but was once required to do such things) to fix the problem over SSH.
