Typo update

Ok, so today, I tested the mt3.rb ruby script that is packaged with Typo. It works. And it works amazingly well.

One of the things that I will have to work on, is trying to ensure that I move all the data over correctly. And I don't mean the database content, or anything that is in the Movable Type interface. I am talking about files like pictures, links etc. Basically checking to make sure that all the other non-blog related files get transferred too. For that, I needed a link checker. During my search, I found: Xenu Link Sleuth. It can potentiallly DoS your server, but it nicely doesn't. However, the Webbrick test server that comes with typo does choke like a kid trying to swallow a bowling ball.

Next up:

  1. backup data on doinkdoink.kaplink.net

  2. upgrade doinkdoink.kaplink.net to an updated OS

  3. reinstall and configure all apps (ruby, rails, apache, bins, MySQL and a few other apps)

  4. move other content over

  5. migrate databases

  6. test test test

  7. go live

Then I will probably post a few posts, and then all will be good! Hmmmm. When to start. I guess I should choose a Distro first. I think I will likely abandon Fedora though. Suggestions?
