- Bush is getting booed while throwing out the first pitch. #
- Just finished writing the little bit of code to fix my chaning permalinks from the old MT blog to the new WP blog. #
- Ok, HellYeahBitch! .com is officially WordPressed and live! Let me know what you think! #
- @DavidStL Not loving the new picture…though it looks to be a good season to have that as your icon. #
- @DavidStL Things are good. Well, as good as radio goes these days.ToastedRav.com is cool, but the rest is…well you know.How are you doing? #
- Damn, just had the weirdest/worst bug I’ve ever had on OS X…didn’t completely freeze but did off and on and no menus were showing up. #
- Figures. I have no problem hacking up the Viddler video comment stuff to work on ToastedRav, but I can’t get a stock version to work. #
- @archphoenix Hopefully that will still be true this year. #
- Look at me, posting on Hell Yeah Bitch! .com again…I’m really liking WordPress 2.5. #
- …though I had to deactivate the Viddler Video Comments plugin, it was somehow interfering with the new media library stuff. #
- @mud Very cool…might just have to install that later today. #
- @mud Thanks! So far, so good. #
- @DavidStL I’m the same way. Baseball fan first but a big Cards fan; and in that light, I will admit, the Cubs should be good this year. #
- @kopper So awesome! #
- Awesome. I just realized that @scobleizer Twittered my blog post earlier today…tons of hits! I was so confused why I was getting slammed #

Hell Yeah Bitch! .com has moved to WordPress
Hell Yeah Bitch! .com turned 5 years old on 2.17.2008 and we have always been a Movable Type blog, but starting today, we are now running WordPress. I’ve thought about moving to WordPress several times, but always decided not too for various reasons. Last night though, after watching the video walkthrough for WordPress 2.5, I decided it was time to actually do it.
I have never been one of those guys that is 100% into a certain blogging platform (with the notable exception of my own blogging platform that run ToastedRav.com) but I stuck with Movable Type for a long time for reasons like the static pages keeping database hits down, and WordPress’ spaghetti code but both of those things don’t matter to me any more. The Dreamhost database seems to be able to handle everyday time requests (though I still need to figure out a caching system for WordPress…any ideas?) and now with me working all day on my own blogging platform, I’ve found I like to just come home and blog on a stock system that doesn’t need to be hacked to my liking (though plugins help). Not only that but some of the new features in WordPress 2.5 are going to be huge in making things simple enough for me that I will continue to make time for blogging on this site. Like what? Um, how about multiple file uploads that those spiffy gallery features for starters.
Like all moves, I’m sure I missed something. Please let me know if you find anything breaking on your browser or if you noticed that I forgot to move something over from the old directory.
A few notes:
The permalinks had to change which sucks, but I did take the time tonight to write a little script and add a rewrite rule that will catch any old links and push the user to the same post under the new permalink. Hopefully this will end up being a complete non-issue, but I did want to address it here.
I exported my MT blog and imported in to WordPress a few hours ago, so any comments posted in that time will be effectively gone. Sorry.

- ToastedRav.com is now MooTools (the javascript library) free! We are 100% jQuery…hopefully the site should load a little faster now. #
- I wonder when the never version of Coda is coming out. #
- Wow, that was a great talk by Cabel. Especially since I’ve lived my life in Coda since the day I bought it. #
