Yesterday I went to work on a long-term sprucing-up project for the Tussin Up site and was frustrated to learn that some sort of bug was preventing the composition box within the MT UI at my hosting from completely rendering.

As a subunit of the composition UI which normally does not even appear was also appearing with an error message, I think that in all likelihood, there was a remote hosting issue somewhere between my install of the blog software and components that were initially designed to provide additional remotely-hosted functionality by SixApart over a decade ago – so a module was not returning an acknowledgement or some such and instead of being properly error-handled within MT’s perl at my host the software was hanging in a way that prevented the complete exposure of the composition box to my cursor.

Anyway, it was a pain, and reminded me that I need to finish my platform migration.
