I need a marriage counselor. Not for my own, thankyouverymuch, but for my good friends Blogger and NetFirms, who no longer see eye to eye over FTP and other such issues that are necessary for a loving relationship between a crappy free web-publishing tool and a low-cost hosting service.

For the past two weeks I've fought the good fight, tried to ask NetFirms what's wrong, tried to get Blogger to open up and talk. No such luck.

Blogger won't FTP to NetFirms anymore; the only thing I get is a "broken pipe" error. I recommended some black-market Viagra and a jolt of Canadian Cialis (the U.S. stuff is watered-down, brah), but neither NetFirms nor Blogger will listen to me.

Alas, I've decided to drop my friends. At the moment I'm publishing this site via BlogSpot (with masking & forwarding---the downfall of any marriage), but over the next few weeks (years?) I'm going to try and make the transition to MovableType---if I can figure out how to install the damn thing.

Even though you're really hot, Perl, I already don't love you. You tempt me, you confuse me.
