MovableType with MAMP (OS X)

NOTICE
CONTENTS OUTDATED

The MAMP+MT implementation process today differs drastically from the time this tutorial was first posted. I suggest checking the comments for a link of a possible updated tutorial from another user.

GoogleTalk and IM in general

Regardless of my opinions about GoogleTalk (which I will discuss below), I’ve added GTalk to Adium.

Hence, to make a long story short, if any friend out there [who’s reading this] has GoogleTalk, e-mail me your account name so I can add you.

Normally, I’d be fine with posting my GMail address here, but ever since I got the account I never really gave it out to people because I want people to remember my yahoo address alone (and I simply forward it to GMail in case I want to use it)

Now what is my opinion about GTalk? And why did I bother installing it? Read on…
