Sporkmonger

I finally got around to updating Typo. I switched over to PostgreSQL at the same time. Unfortunately, because of the database switch, I had to migrate a lot of the content over manually, by hand. (Conversion scripts didn’t work.) Very painful.

I apologise if unique ids on the site feeds got messed up. Not much I could do about that without making the process even more painfully manual. If there was a good OS X frontend for PostgreSQL it might’ve been worth it, but pgAdmin is too mind-bogglingly awful to make the attempt.

But now I have syntax highlighting for my code, so I’m happy. Syntax highlighting should also work in the comments as well. Also, I went through and added syntax highlighting to the old articles and everyone’s comments where appropriate, and cleaned up any bad text formatting, so all your comments look pretty now.

Also, as you can see, I’ve gone through and tagged everything. I was planning on having one of those cool tag cloud things that Typo lets you have, but as it turns out, since every post is tagged with ‘feedtools’, that just meant that there was a big huge 72pt-font-tag and a couple of really, really tiny ones.

Anyways, Typo macro filters (such as syntax highlighting) are explained in detail here in case you want to make use of them in your comments.

Thanks again, Scott (and everyone else who’s been working on it) for all the hard work you’ve been doing on Typo!
