I merged all the posts from my byteflow installation and my blogger site. Moving the byteflow by RSS proved to be quite a project. All the tags we called categories in byteflow, and they had bad formatting around the names. All the posts were missing the published date as well. So, I dug into the xml and added the missing date information and did some search and replaces on the bad formatting. I opted to remove all the tags at least for now. Just want to try and get a clean start with preserving at least the post history.
In the sidebar you’ll find my Twitter feed as well as my Google Reader shared items. I’ll add relevant information and links as I have time. I hope to also add a project portal page to my personal projects.

wstearnsUncategorized general, wordpress
Like so many others, I have decided to switch my blog software to WordPress. I was using Byteflow without much issue, however I wanted to start working on some projects and was afraid my messing around with django on my account might kill my old copy of the blog software. I have also decided not to do any importing of old posts for now. I hope to have some more time to post about my projects and ramblings.

Congratulations to Obama! Enough about that.
I have already slacked on my post for every other day. I apologize for that. Not like people actually read this. I need to write my own blog software or just install wordpress and be done with it. Anyways, I have updated my desktop at home to the latest Ubuntu 8.10. I had some issues with upgrading my UbuntuStudio, so I decided to scrap it and install a fresh copy of 8.10. Here’s what my desktop looks like now:
I’m going to keep tweaking and get all my software installed. I’ll keep you posted.

A lot of people are making this month the month to make a post per day on their blog. I don’t think I could provide such content at this time. Maybe I can try a post every other day in November, for us lazy people. :-)
UbuntuStudio 8.04 to 8.10 Upgrade
I updated my desktop machine at home to the latest 8.10 from Ubuntu. Everything looks like it has successfully upgraded properly minus the ATI x1950 Pro drivers. I don’t seem to be able to enable the restricted driver set. I’m going to be looking into this today and see if I can get the fancy compiz effects turned back on. Other than that, the updates to the UbuntuStudio theme is nice. I like the new minimize, maximize and close buttons. I’ll have to submit some screenshots later in an edit.
Election 2008
Vote your heart and your mind. Vote for life and the rights of those that can’t choose. Use the Internet to do some searching for truth. Home values started the beginning to the end in 1975. Regulation on building, zoning and “open area” laws have created the false economy that is home values by government control over supply and demand. 1993 began the sub-prime mortgage mess. Warnings were presented to congress in 1998 by the FTC. Stop listening to the talking heads and show your intelligence by making your own decision by looking at the facts. Stop the expansion of government.

I volunteered to have my domains moved to the new servers at Dreamhost. Hopefully things won’t break too much, but somehow I have a feeling they will. 
Stay tuned, not sure when it will occur.
