Firelog

So? I deleted all the old entries… So? The backup I had turned out to be a symlink in a tar ball… Shit happens.
Anyway, Firelog is back on track again, but this time it’s got a new costume, even a new body. I spent some hours trying to find a decent blogging system based on PHP/MySQL, and after getting frustrated and tired for the umpteenth time, I found WordPress. I think it’s a lot more complete than SPB, but it’s still not bloated. You don’t find yourself under 15 tons of options like in some other systems. You go to the options you need, when you need them, and they are well organized. (Unlike my room, but that’s another story… ;))
The old entries and categories etc. will be finding their way into WordPress once I get the backup from the backup server. (I don’t have access to the backup files… :() I also noticed that the backup system was b0rked, so the last backup was made on Christmas Eve (should be every day). I managed to copy the last four items anyway, so nothing should be lost…
Let’s hope I don’t screw this incarnation up.
