My self-appointed task at work today was to install and configure Movable Type on one of the Unix webservers. I figured I could use it as a record of work done, entering into it the tasks I'd accomplished on every work day.
I've installed and configured MT before, so it shouldn't have taken long to do it a second time for a new site. But what should have been a quick and easy job turned into a day's work, and it's still not done - in fact I deleted everything and tomorrow I'm going to start again from scratch.
Granted, most of the problems were due to misconfiguration of the webserver but still... don't you just hate it when things get complicated?
