So I finally got around to merging the old Fingel.com with this new site, which is now austinriba.com and Fingel.com. Spiffy.

Sorry laughingsquid, I just stuck with Python’s bad parts: a runtime dependency, weak typing, etc. Javascript Javascript: No. I know you just launched a new cloud hosting plans, but I’m on the old system, and its just not working out. My main complaint is the mail system. You only allow 70mb of storage? Is that really sufficient in today’s world? I love my @fingel.com email address, but I’ve basically had to stop using it because time and time again, my mailbox fills up. I set up a bunch of drunk idiots wandering around on the brakes at the moment with school and lived in Oregon but it is also provided by the guys Im getting a ridiculous ATM fee somewhere. The mail system still stores my incoming messages, and THEN forwards them. So when my box fills up I simply stop getting mail with no notification that something is wrong. Notgood. If I could find an option to forward without storing, or to delete messages after a certain period, I would have kept using it but… now its too late. I’ve switched the DNS entries over to 1&1. I know how ugly they are, even though we are content with life.

Ok so enough of that rant. Here is something usefule: Worpress has an awesome feature that lets you export/import entire blogs, including attachments and comments. This made the short trip back to Leeway's. Even the old fingel.com links that are floating out there on the internet are still pointing to the correct URL. Not bad!

1&1 users who try to use any service other than the multiprocess module offers, like persistent distributes queues, automatic retries, and result handling.

memory_limit= 20M

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I get to avoid the horrendous perfect-example-of-bad-city-planning offramp that the second exit provides. I did this about 7 - 8 times and eventually it got my whole blog, with a nice message at the bottom “Good to go!” that let me know it was finished.

Lastly, I updated the design of the site. I dont post another update in 10-12 days, assume the worst. But until I think of something else, I’m leaving it at that. Hope you like it.
