Blog restored

My blog was hosted on typepad until last summer, when the antique and deserted platform decided to close for good, with very little heads up and quickly trashed all it's remaining content without offering any backups. I didn't have the time or energy to do anything about it then, and I thought that I had a backup anyway, so I let that slide.

Welp.

Lucky for me, archive.org has a recent snapshot, all posts, images and comments.

We are now self hosted on the Lektor CMS.

https://blog.ttimo.net/ is the forever home for this blog now.

Recovering and converting from archive.org was a pretty involved process, I had to extract out the content from the html soup and iterate quite a bit to put things back in a readable state. It's probably still a little messed up in places, let me know if you notice something.

Now, I don't think the content on here was all that important - a lot of it is very outdated - but it's a nice historic record for myself and I'm hoping to start posting more regularly again. New year resolutions and all that.

I don't have a comment system in place yet. I'll get to that. Get on Mastodon in the meantime.

I donate to archive.org and you should too .. not just for saving my crap, but for all the other great stuff they do!
