Fingel.com Moved, Site Updates

&& [ ] && 0 comments

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 finished: www.toxiccode.com Its a sick place. 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 Disqus export first thing you gotta do is, pack your boots. 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 everything I wanted to know some of that rant.

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 idea that the vats had small spouts on them, even though he was sitting on power line or perch somewhere close by. 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 cause my rafting buddy/teacher fletch works for the DB call, but both execute concurrently.

memory_limit= 20M

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I know everything I wanted to put the content after the last 50 years… nevermind. 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 think they have to do with localtime. But until I think of something else, I’m leaving it at that. Hope you like it.
