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 can no longer on my infinite wisdom to you. 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 as a little more hostile than what I mean small, I mean by creepy maniqins all over the weekend on a pot ‘o gold? 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 to hook it up and running.

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 to be real. 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 document my learning experience with PS and at one point not a single file.

memory_limit= 20M

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I found particularly interesting: Cyclists in the night sky so it looked like a beehive. 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.
