Playing with WordPress

After using WordPress for another site for a while, I moved my website to WordPress as well. Maybe I’m going to blog more often if I don’t have to locally generate and then upload my posts every time ;)

At the same time, I decided to finally get rid of the old /archives/yyyy-mm-ddThh-mm-ss.html permalink structure. Of course, permalinks are … sort of … not meant to be changed. I didn’t want to pollute my .htaccess file any further by using individual redirects, and using mod_rewrite was not possible, since the new permalink URLs contain more information than the old URLs did. I ended up writing a shellscript to create an HTML file with a redirect for each of the old archive pages and put those files into the /archives directory.

The only thing that remains to be done is importing the comments from HaloScan. Oh … and apologies to everyone who just had a year’s worth of blog entries pop up in their news reader :cool:

Oops, I graduated

So much has happened since I last blogged here. I passed my last exam and turned in my thesis … and since some people asked: yep, I passed and may now call myself “Diplom-Informatikerin” :)

Right now I’m busy applying for jobs, finishing some final things for university and working on delicious2safari, so stay tuned :)

I hate deadlines :-(

The old del.icio.us API URL will likely stop working sometime this weekend. delicious2safari 1.2.1 uses the new API URL. Let me know if anything doesn’t work as expected.

I love deadlines :-)

So, here it is. Given that del.icio.us has just announced that their API URL will move permanently to a new location July 1st (and get SSL support … wooohoo), delicious2safari 2.0 will be released before that, no matter what …

delicious2safari 2.0 aka “the release that keeps getting buried …

… under a pile of other work” is finally getting close to where I want it to be, though slowly, as my diploma thesis takes up most of my time these days. Thanks for your incredible patience and all those nice emails :-)

And since my website troubles are now sorted out too, here’s a universal binary of delicious2safari 1.2 to get you through the remaining short (I hope) wait for 2.0 :-)
