We left the beach this morning. The condo’s owner had told us before our trip that the day you leave is always the prettiest day, and it’s so sad. Not so for us. We left in a torrential downpour, so bad we could barely see the road. It made it a lot easier to bid farewell to the beach.
First stop on the drive home was the family farm, which I’ve abandoned for the evening after discovering Eclipse Coffee a charming coffeeshop and bookstore in Montevallo with free wifi! It seems to have a primarily collegiate clientele (University of Montevallo), and it’s pretty entertaining listening to the students complain about homework loads while I work on my syllabi for next week.
Now that MT 3.1 has been released, I’m preparing to put out a 3.1 compatible version of the courseware. If you’d like to use it, you should install 3.1 (the educational license is quite reasonably priced for unlimited sites, or you can do the free version for one site), and then the TypeMover plugin. I’ll distribute the courseware as a single file that can be installed using TypeMover in one easy step, rather than as a bunch of separate template files and instructions for configuration. Yay!
I’ve got a couple of classes running under 3.1 already for this quarter. No big changes in operation just yet, but I expect to release another version later this fall that incorporates more of the nifty features of 3.1, like dynamic templates and subcategories.
As we head north I’ll be posting more pictures, and trying to shift my head back into a more professional and research-focused space. Blogging should pick up by next week. In the meantime, I’ll be seeking out connectivity on the road and checking mail as we go.

Did you ever release a 3.1 compatible version of your courseware? I'd like to try it out.
I didn't release it, but I have one. :)
The easiest way for me to provide it is as a TypeMover file. In fact, here it is. (Right-click to download.) Once you've got TypeMover installed, you can use it to load this file and create a new blog with all the basics in place.
