Tearing My Hair Out, One Software Glitch At a Time

Hello all. Holly here, back from the bowels of software hell.

I’m posting this in the wee hours of Thursday using a beta version of Ecto. For some strange reason, after I posted the last post on Glenn Tilton this week, my previous version of Ecto refused to access our blog anymore. Hmmm. Maybe the two are related.

Changing passwords didn’t work. Then I thought we’d broken Movable Type, the software we use for PlaneBuzz itself, as we have been updating and changing system software on the trusty PBB server for the last week, as we prepare to start final edits to an entirely new PlaneBusiness software package that was just uploaded to our servers this week.

Eyeeee-EEEE.

My head hurts.

Notice it is 5:44 in the morning. Uh-huh.

So after Jonathan, our web guru, convinced me that MT was not the problem, I figured I’d try another web editor. So I downloaded Mars Edit, and after using it to do a couple of mock posts, I came to the conclusion I didn’t like it either.

So then I went back to Ecto and downloaded their new beta version.

Presto.

It worked. Or at least it seems to be working.

Which is more than I can say for American Airlines. The airline once again finds itself on the wrong side of another PR mess this week.
