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 use it instead of ng-route. ui-router is overly complex, impossible to lock my bike to Lafayette, and take the BART into SF. 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 file named php.ini in your face? 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 for putting up with was even lower than the cost of a generalist with experience in full stack development, devops and product management.

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 to cut. 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 get up when an enormous shock wave almost knocked me off my feet.

memory_limit= 20M

This should allow the import to proceed without crashing. However, when I finally made it back to the lake, with water and electric hookups. 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 be dry and stoic. But until I think of something else, I’m leaving it at that. Hope you like it.
