As you can see (if you’re not reading this via RSS feeds, that is) I have switched my weblog from MoveableType to WordPress. It’s been quite trendy to do so lately but I had resisted so far because I didn’t have a MySQL database available on my ISP and I was too lazy to figure out how to make it work with PostgreSQL. Also, I wasn’t that unhappy with MoveableType (apart from the annoying comment editing/erasing interface and the well-documented slowness of the rebuild process).

Well, this has changed. I realized today that some of the posts for which I had erased comment spam had actually their content replaced by the content of the comment I erased! For a reason that I haven’t managed to figure out, it turned out that MT replaced the content of my posts by the content of the comment right after I deleted them. I didn’t realize that it had happened for several of my posts until today. As you can imagine, I got pretty pissed about it and decided to switch to WP without further ado. It turned out that this very same day, I learned that MySQL was now available so I didn’t have any excuses not to switch.

Obviously, there’s going to be some growing pains so please pardon our dust while we complete the transfer…
