This blog is running through a different system to the main site, which is produced with Movable Type 4.3.

This is produced with Movable Type 2.6. Even running on plain CGI, it’s brilliantly fast. Even more importantly, it’s simple. As I recall, 2.6 was the first version to support plugins, and only those for text filtering. This enables me to use the other major component for keeping this simple: Markdown.

It might not scale to hundreds of thousands of entries, but I doubt this blog will ever make it to that point.
