Naturally, it reminds me of this:

Hi Sol - greetings from Prague. This is a great city, and I've only seen the airport.
I was just reading and saw that the second video isn't showing up. Hulu videos are only available in the US. They have a notification that people may only see abroad.
You're upgrading to the latest MT? Eek, that's something I'd put off for years. Hope it all goes well
Prague! Cool!
Oh no...well the video is the one of Phil Hartman from SNL at the all drug Olympics. I couldn't find it anywhere else. If anyone has another source of the video, I'll replace it.
Fortunately, the upgrade went super smooth. I've only run into one or two little screw ups which were easily fixed. The time consuming part is going to be combing through my templates and updating things. Last night I swapped out all the comment page code (this here) with the newer method and styling it so it's looking about the same as I had it before. My goal is to go through and sort of streamline everything, deleting outdated stuff and going through my stylesheet and getting rid of code that's been kicking around in there since version 2.x.
The new MT 4.2 Pro, which is now free for non-corporations, is pretty sweet. They're giving away the whole "community solution" which means user profiles and a sort of built in forum solution (up till now they were charging enterprises 1000's of dollars for the same thing). Lots of toys. It's funny, because I was just going to start looking in to how to implement a user-submitted link thing, a la LGF, and this looks like it's all built just for that. It's just a matter of puzzling it all out.
By the way, I could now implement truly threaded comments, you know, where you reply and the reply is indented below the comment you're replying to, but I've never much cared for that so I'll leave it like this for now.
