Blog migration from s9y to wp finished

I just finished configuring the redirects for the old s9y urls. Posts, Feeds and Tags should now redirect to the proper wordpress pages. Unfortunately, the script I used to migrate the content left out the tags, so I retagged all the posts. On the bright side I now know which posts still need to be fixed because an image did not get uploaded or a link is broken.

I still need to think of a use for categories … so the site will be in flux a few more days. Lets see how google handles the new url, as http://blog.butonic.de now points to http://butonic.de, the new wordpress installation.

Remember this when creating a Presentation

I often wonder about how bad Presentations can go. Garry Reynold wrote a nice post on how you should use “PowerPoint”. He talks about cognitive load and multimedia learning. Maybe, I should read some more of his blog …

Moved from pebble to serendipity / apache to lighttpd / courier to postfix + cyrus

I moved from pebble to serendipity (or s9y as they call it). Mainly, because pebble was the only JAVA process here and that sucked up quite a lot of resources on a host with 32 virtual machines. I imported the old posts and added redirects for all the old urls. Although s9y is written in php, which I dislike as a language, I am quite impressed with its features. For now I enabled comments as it comes with some nice anti spam measures … well see how things work out.

Apache was dumped in favour of lighttpd as I do not need all the functions of apache and it uses a smaller memory footprint … and maybe because lighttpd is hip and I wanted to try it out ;)

As we are going to use postfix/cyrus in the university I read a few IMAP performance comparisons and a lot of docu. Both outperform courier: cyrus performance and postfix documentation made the decision easier…

I hope nothing got broken ;)

so long
