Alex Chilton, RIP. I am wondering: who is the musician who has the best song named after him? And: who is the best musician with a song named after him? Also: Who is the best musician who recorded the best song with his or her name in the title? (Example I don’t think is the winner: Ballad of John and Yoko.)

Friday, March 19th, 2010Upgrading MySql from 4 to 5 on 1and1
Monday, December 21st, 2009WordPress 2.9 is out today, and we’re trying to upgrade all our blogs to it.
These sites were created with MySql 4 databases, and the latest WordPress requires MySql 5. How to upgrade?
So far, we’ve tried dumping/exporting the old database and importing to a new MySql 5 database, but certain characters like curly quotes and Greek letters are broken.
Any ideas on dealing with these character encoding issues?

Those Alexander Hammids are really exciting. I didn’t even know they still existed. Never heard of Lutz Mommart, but they look interesting.
