Hello World!
Welcome (back) to FreedomMind.
I’ve finally upgraded my blog. The old version was served with Movable Type on my ten-year-old Mac G3 but I figured it was time to upgrade. I’ve replaced the hardware with a G4 and the software with Wordpress.
I’m starting fresh because I couldn’t import the old posts. They were stored in a built-in database that was part of the MT installation instead of MySQL. Maybe I could have, but I don’t know how to do that level of database manipulation.
It took a while for me to get around to this. My office was piled up with boxes, papers, and loads of other stuff. I had some time this weekend, so I motivated myself to clean out the obstacles - including the old hardware - and install the replacement stuff.
I got rid of the CRTs and defunct printer and placed my flat-screen monitors on the G4 and XP box so it looks so much cleaner. There’s still a lot of work to do in the office, but at least I have a start. Not surprisingly, Lexie is far more proud that I started cleaning than of any new blog.
