Remember that test in grade school where you were supposed to carefully read an entire page of instructions and then act on them? Remember how a good giggle could be had watching the kids who didn't follow instructions walk 'round their desks and do other silly things, because the final instruction was to forget all the others and sit quietly?
I was one of those kids. And oh so many moons later, I still haven't learned. In plain sight in the middle of Jim Ray's instructions for making intelligent Movable Type archive filenames was the step, "Click Save, but do not rebuild your site yet."
I didn't click Save, and now I have an archives subdirectory that itself contains like one quadrazillion subdirectories, none of which I can delete because I get a "Can't Delete: ... It could be locked, open or in use by another application." To make matters worse, I can't seem to CHMOD the file permissions on the subdirectories and individual files.
Now my long-delayed Web server spring cleaning has gone straight to pot. And just after I'd gotten rid of that pesky PostNuke directory ... :-)
