zem@zem42·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @akkartik@akkartik @vgr i miss that site! it was a lot more navigable than blogspot. sucked up way too much bandwidth to self-host, though :(1
Kartik Agaram@akkartik·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @zem42@zem42 @vgr Another great website killed by Blogspot/Blogger. My lesson from those monstrosities: never use a company's #3-or-lower service.2
zem@zem42·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @akkartik@akkartik @vgr i wouldn't say blogspot killed us - they let us put up the archives when we lost our university hosting. glad for them.1
Kartik Agaram@akkartik·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @zem42@zem42 @vgr Yes -- back when they were an independent company. Today: 100% suckage. Say, is http://wonderingminstrels.blogspot.com also y'all?1
zem@zem42·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @akkartik@akkartik @vgr yes, when we lost our rice university hosting sitaram converted the webpage into a blogspot blog11
Kartik Agaram@akkartik·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @zem42@zem42 @vgr Oh never mind, I see that blogspot has the entire archives! Never mind, y'all are already set.2
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Aug 19, 2015Replying to @akkartik@akkartik @zem42 If you do, seriously consider sucking it into a self-hosted WP, not flat files. Way more optionality.2
