New Blog, Who Dis?
For many years now, I've been "working" on updating my old blog to use a modern PHP and frontend stack. It's been a challenge to find the time and energy to do so, however.
I've come across Bear Blog a few times, but decided to take the evening to get everything migrated over. I wrote (well, had Junie write) a script to convert all of my old posts to markdown with some appropriate frontmatter to ease the transition. It worked great!
This is all part of an effort to simplify the maintenance of my online presence. Note that, yes, this is in direct opposition to my Self-Hosting for Fun and Personal Freedom post.
I do enjoy building software in my free time, but I find myself with very little these days :)
So, thanks, Herman. The migration was basically painless!
