I’ve got myself a brand spanking new VPS. w00t!
So with some help of the ‘oh so clever’ infamous Claw @ Signify I’ve got my DNS server up & running and everything seems to be going just super*.
Along with the new VPS I’ve decided to upgrade my blog from Wordpress to Subtext. Which, surprisingly, wasn’t that easy consider Wordpress doesn’t natively export to BlogML (there really should be standard between all blog engines).
Anyway, I got an export working using the BlogML project on CodePlex along with some additional hacking of the resulting XML file. So all my previous, extremely out of date, posts are back if anyone is still using ASP.NET MVC CTP’s. Ha.
As for the new blog, after some rather exhausting searching for a decent skin for my new Subtext install, I couldn’t find anything that I really liked so I’ve decided to port the Lazy Days skin by Fullahead with inspiration from Steven Harman and his Subtext port. So far so good, but as you can tell I’ve got alot more to go!
More updates to come - to the skin and to my blog that is. I, hesitantly, promise to update more often than I have been (last update January 2008!). Focus will be on the best thing to come out of Microsoft in years – ASP.NET MVC.
*Yet to fully setup hMailServer – how hard can it be? ;-)
