First Post (sorta)
OK, so after too much dithering I finally got around to getting a personal blog running on my home machine. I’m using Wordpress rather that B2Evolution as the latter is probably overkill for a single blog, and it’s a lot smaller.
To get this off and running I’ve imported most of my off-topic (ie. not Vislab specific) posts from the old blog. This being a blog vaguely about contrarian approaches to getting things done I didn’t use any of the existing b2e->wordpress import scripts, instead opting for a mixture of bash one-liners and Emacs macros, with some manual cleaning up of the database afterwards. This last bit was necessary as there’s a nasty wart in the Wordpress SQL schema in that it stores the category post-count with the category description where it should just be asking the database for that information.
