If you're landing here, chances are that you're coming from my domain, intertrusion.com. A few weeks back the server that hosted intertrusion.com took a dive. Hardcore. Since, I've decided that maintaining my own box -- though geekier -- just isn't worth the time anymore. SO, I have setup THIS blog to take the place of my former WordPress blog. As for the content of my old blog, I'll eventually get it over here, I just haven't had the time to jump through all the hoops I have to in order to get that data back. Enjoy, and sorry for any disruption.

Register.COM FINALLY got my domains transferred
Posted on 6:16 PM by Unknown
I swear! If ever a system existed to systematically oppress progress, it is InterNIC's domain transfer policy! Combine that with Register.com's pushy, archaic, dreadful domain transfer protocol, and you're probably better off hanging yourself than getting on with a domain transfer. I'm not kidding, it took inordinately LONG. I started this process on January 26... it just happened YESTERDAY. That's five days in January and 6 days in February. ZOMG!
Anywho, everything is now over at bluehost and eventually I'll get stuff up there. I'm probably going to leave my blog here until such a time as blogger does something to piss me off righteously and I decide to go it alone.

Migration Aid & Taxonomy
Posted on 2:59 PM by Unknown
One of the things I'm struggling with in my Migration from Word Press (aside from the fact that my Server took a poop on itself this afternoon when I rebooted it) is the notion of the taxonomy. WP uses "categories", which are essentially the Web2.0 "tags", but I haven't any idea how they'll come into Blogger.
I've found a lovely bit of software from James E. Robinson, III which, despite its profound lack of documentation, promises to be quite utilitous in migrating my WordPress blog. The gist of it is you drop a couple of PHP files on your server, tweak them to point at your WordPress install, and hit them from a web-interface... the whole thing should be pretty smooth. Unfortunately, I can't test it right now because my server is presently down. :-(
Aside from the sheer act of getting the content over to Blogger, I'm considering the taxonomy of my new blog. My previous blog had a very simple, yet effective, set of tags: "soapbox", "faith", "family", "geekery", "travel" and "food". Initially, I expect I'll keep that same set of tags with the intention of elaborating on them at some point in the future.
I'm also looking for ways to integrate various other bits of my gLife (all my Google bits) into my blog. I suspect that shouldn't be too difficult, but I haven't yet explored that.
More to come.

Transition
Posted on 1:12 PM by Unknown
So begins the auspicious transition from my WordPress blog at intertrusion.com to this blog. I have a number of reasons for transitioning from WordPress, not least of which is that I have grown weary of having to maintain the WordPress environment. In the coming days I'm hoping to get my WordPress blog pulled over to Blogger, even if that means some manual transfer (though I can hope it doesn't.)
My hope, by transitioning to Blogger, is that the wider support for Blogger will facilitate my more regular blogging. That said, I'm going to keep the focus I had on my blog at intertrusion.com: my faith, my family, geekery and gastronomy with an occasional blog on my travels.
