Okay, a warning. The software running this weblog is getting a little crusty. Over the next few days or maybe weeks I’ll be upgrading a few bits. The first big step, just finished, was to move the backend storage from BerkeleyDB to a relational database management system. The instructions and data migration script from Movable Type seem to have worked as expected. Hooray for SQL! It’s like coming home again. Now I have to sort out backups and stats collection. After that the next big step will be to move up to Movable Type 3.x.
