According to this TSA document knitting needles are allowed on planes, but spear guns are not.

What gives? Those knitting needles look sharp.

The part of me that likes to think up funny ideas, which are funny right up until the point where you get put into jail, thinks it would be funny to fly with exactly one of each of the allowed items.

Upgrading to MT 3.14 was relatively painless. Other than a little driver error when I uploaded some files as binary, which should have been ascii, it all went smooth.

Unfortunately, I can’t really say the same for enabling TypeKey. This should really have been covered better in the MT Docs.

Fortunately, I found some help.

• TypeKey Authentication for Comments
• Migrate Your MT 2.x Blog To Movable Type 3

As of right now, commenting using typekey still seems wonky. I also haven’t tried trackbacks yet. I’ll figure it out later.

Maybe I should have done a fresh install in a different directory, then manually merged templates.

I’m finally taking the plunge and upgrading to MT 3.xx. Expect instability for a few minutes.
