Roller to Typo

Today I switched to the Typo blogging system. I was quite happy with Roller but Typo gives me a very good excuse to do some more stuff with Ruby on Rails since Typo is Rails based. It’s not as polished as Roller e.g. lots of tweaks must be done on the filesystem level but it’s progressing very nicely. I hope to follow the latest CVS (erh SVN) releases as closely as possible. For now it’s back to business. Incidentally, this is the first post with BloGTK, a GTK based blogging client. It has rough some rough edges but I like it so far! As for exporting/importing the posts from Roller to Typo.. since there were only 10 or so posts I did this manually as writing a custom script would have taken a lot longer than the 5 minute cut ‘n paste job.
