The current plan is to also try to upgrade my copy of Movable Type. However, to say that MT migrates data poorly is to understate the situation drastically. ;-) Once the upgrade happens, I'll be sure to let y'all know so that you can flood me with complaints about the new setup.

This is the proper procedure for calibrating the battery on all Macbook models.
Follow these steps to calibrate your battery:

Plug in the power adapter and charge your Macbook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the on-screen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is completely charged.
Allow the battery to rest in this fully charged state for a minimum of two hours. You can use your computer during this time, but make sure that the adapter is plugged in.
Disconnect the power adapter with the computer still on, and start running the computer off battery power. You can use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, you will see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
