Blog is back.

Upgrading to Subtext 2.1 on this server was a rather painful process. Database operations take forever to complete due to the 233MHz CPU, causing the web-based installer to time out... So I ended up pulling the SQL scripts from Subtext's SVN repository and installing them manually, which took somewhere around five or six minutes.

After installing the scripts in the wrong order twice, I got it right and found out that Subtext 2.1 is miserably slow. It takes just over a minute and a half for the site to compile down to HTML now. Be glad for caching and NGEN, or you'd have to wait that long every time you click a link here.

Hence, why you should not host your blog on mid-'90s computers. (To Antony: I am not "rushing for the latest"; I waited until 2.1 to upgrade so that some of 2.0's bugs could be worked out.)

Speaking of bugs, why is it that my BlogML imports always escape the HTML in comments?

Glad you are back in business.It must have been very annoying for you, not that I understand what went wrong. It is sometimes best to be a "techno-dullard"!
