[Blog] Starting Blogger data migration

Ok. I’ve got my most popular article ported over to Blogger. I now have my domain registrar pointing my domain name at a server I own running Apache. I use URL rewriting to ensure old article permalinks still work. I also use the mod_proxy to send all requests to Blogger. I host my own images, since Blogger doesn’t host any.

I’ll be backporting my entries for a while, then tweaking my templates. After that, I’ve got some great stuff to write on my recent work with using Spring, JMS, and threads to process hundreds of thousands of messages.

[Blog] Trying out Blogger

After being thoroughly frustrated with the inability of my hosting service to handle the traffic that my Eclipse post generated, I’m trying out Blogger. I had an account here way back, but wanted more features and better control. They updated their site a while ago, but I was in the midst of my own blog hosting. Now I’m back to check it out.
