Just another complaint. I am full of them today.

I finally installed the downloadable version of Movable Type last night. I am a pretty tech savvy person and this one was a bear. For something that is not terribly complicated (or shouldn’t be), it was awful. The main culprit is the documentation. It was full of double negatives and nested steps that seemed out of order (or at least were in a non linear order) and left out loads of information such as full directory structure for a correct install. I guess MT has a vested interest in making this as difficult as possible. For every person that can install the downloadable version, that is one less person that will fork over the $4.95/month for the hosted version. Why not just charge a nominal fee (say $9.95) to download the personal version and make some clearer god damn documentation.

Oh, and one more complaint. Dunkin Donuts needs more counter space. How many times, and at how many different Dunkin Donuts have I had to yell my order from the third row of a small sea of people crowded around a 2 foot opening only to get my order and have it be completely wrong?
