Moving Day

Sorry for the abrupt disruption in the blog, and any mess you may find around here. We've changed to Movable Type software for the blog structure, and it's proving to be difficult wrestling the old data out of the previous incarnations. Over the coming days, you may notice archives and comments backfilling as I migrate data. With apologies to ESPN, I'll just say, "Pardon the Interruption".

UPDATE: I've corrected most of the import errors, and now just have to go back and publish all the entries. Since this will take looking at each one (from over the course of almost two years) looking for information in the archives may require patience as I filter through them.

Incidentally, in the process of fixing the bugs, I found I can edit the guts of any entry or comment much more easily with the SQL database Movable Type uses than I ever could with Pivot (as I found out to my regret one day). This came in handy when I found there were comments posted after I'd created the backup that I used to migrate the data. I ended up having to post the comments myself, and though I could enter the poster's name and email without a problem, the IP and timestamp were wrong. Using myPHPAdmin, correcting that information was a snap.
