if you are reading this, typo is dead.

I’m happy. It feels a lot lot faster, both rendering and in the admin screens.

Quick summary :

  • articles and comments  came over ok (articles via the RSS importer, comments by hand)
  •  the theme existed for both typo and wordpress
  • google analytics needed pasting into your <head>
  • have told wordpress to use the same permalink format as typo did
  • set up some 301s for the old typo RSS and atom feeds

Let me know if anything seems wrong. I’ve been tailing access logs and amazingly I do have some readers (!), so don’t be shy.

 Things I know are broken but probably won’t fix:

  • old Typo URLs for per-article RSS ( I couldn’t see why anyone would want that)
  • tags (the RSS importer set them up as categories instead, which I’m fine with)

I’m not delighted about having to run on MySQL (I‘ll be mysqldumping twice a day),but the schema is much saner than typos had become by 4.x. I’ve already fixed up somethings on the mysql command line faster than I could have found them in the web frontend.

    It seems to render much faster than before and at first sight it looks fine.
    Anyway, thanks for the Solaris series you posted a while back. It helped me get up to speed with zones and zfs.

    @Marcelo : cheers, nice to get some feedback.

    I never stopped the Solaris series, just Leopard came out and I got distracted.

    I’ll get round to that glassfish cluster anyday now, honest…
