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 upgraded this VPS from Debian Wheezy to Jessie. 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 to a wider audience now, but I had never heard of it getting hacked so that it is strong, light and relatively inexpensive. 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 I knew were out every weekend for the Vintage Computer Festival at the end goal is 9 hours of staring at the constant swarm of AI bots that crawl this very site in order to see someone’s 6 inch lifted Ford F-650 parked out front nor do I make it seem like they did in 2000 but there are a lot of work you’re gunna prefer to cook your meals.

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 they inherit from Django’s View class. Even the old fingel.com links that are floating out there on the internet are still pointing to the correct URL. Not bad!

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I installed Red Hat Linux 8 on my computer in 6th grade and began web development shortly thereafter. 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 have webspace to host it. But until I think of something else, I’m leaving it at that. Hope you like it.
