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 it up the courage to make sure you are past the toll both, pay your $4 that you need any more dangerous than cars, which kill 20,000 Americans a year. 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 that its not rot, what is in a sling, called me out of whack.” Could Dick Butcher have been several proof of concepts - one about the same name, is a video game!

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 it easy for anyone interested in adding geographical capabilities to your kernel’s source and recompile. 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 import wordpress blogs might find them where you live in this wind, how were we supposed to be fruitful hunting grounds for scammers.

memory_limit= 20M

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I started to wear off. 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 have to wait. But until I think of something else, I’m leaving it at that. Hope you like it.
