SHAOS http://shaos.net/blog { personal blog of shaos } Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:40:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Bye Bye Google Blogger http://shaos.net/blog/2010/02/bye-bye-google-blogger.html http://shaos.net/blog/2010/02/bye-bye-google-blogger.html#comments Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:33:52 +0000 Shaos http://shaos.net/blog/?p=54 I’m on WordPress now and almost all links are saved :)

Import from Blogger was perfect!

Permalinks with custom structure /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html correctly replicate Blogger’s URLs

I installed plugin “Smart 404″ to handle broken URLs to labels – it’s working fine

But now archive URLs are different and RSS feed URLs are different – it is minor problem

So what should I do?

  1. to switch to something.blogspot.com and lose all my search engines entrances?
  2. to switch to Blogger’s “custom domain” (probably shaos.net) and again lose all my search engines entrances?
  3. to say good-bye to Google Blogger and convert my blog to something else in the same place (shaos.net/blog) and save all my search engines entrances?

P.S. I’m glad to be part of “unique” 1/200 subset of Blogger users who was using FTP, but it’s just too sad…

P.P.S. It looks like more political than technical decision – they simply want to have power to shut down any blog entirely in 1 sec…

Then I installed 2 cheap ($20 each) PCI-cards in it: first is 2xCOM-ports:

and second is 1xLPT-port:

Basically it is the same card with different assembling.

Now I can use it as a regular Linux PC for example to connect El Cheapo PIC-programmer to Debian’s Piklab:

Kernel recompilation was required to allow using of module ppdev that creates device /dev/parport0

So this machine officially became my hobby lab machine ;)

P.S. Unfortunately I was not able to run on this machine any USB PCI-card that I had…

Red table bought in IKEA. Right-bottom: Systemax server with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 ГГц (Slackware 12.2). Right-top: PowerMac G4 Cube (colored to black) with Debian 5.0 and preloaded libfreevec. Left-bottom: subwoofer Logitech, power adapter for Cube and Gigabit switch. Left-top: UPS CyberPower 1500AVR. In the center under the table: KVM IOGEAR (switching USB keyboard+mouse and VGA between both machines). In the center on the table: display SAMSUNG SyncMaster 204B (20.5′ with ratio 4:3), Logitech audio speakers and microphone RadioShack. Also you can see black “Das Keyboard” that doesn’t have any characters on it ;)

P.S. Electric power stability is provided by APC Back-UPS ES 750 that may keep the server working without electricity for more than 40 minutes!
