Dumping Movable Type

I'm getting sick of movable type. Everyone thinks it slow, and it is. It is written by retards, every new release incorporates more bugs then the last version.

I think I'll go and migrate MT to something that works, even a php solution would be ok. I first choose MT because it was written in Perl. But now a PHP solution will satisfy me as wel..

There are only two requirements for this new app.

1) It must support postgresql
2) I must be able to import my movable type entries

So anyone with suggestions, please leave a comment :)

Currently on the testbench:

  • Pivot
    Pro: does not require a database, does rebuilding, works directly out of the box
    Con: has no import or export functionality

  • Blog:CMS
    Pro: has extensive features, import possibility for movable type
    Con: requires MySQL which means it's instantly disapproved

  • Scoop
    Pro: perl engine, very mature software
    Con: requires MySQL which means it's instantly disapproved

Hans Bakker: RIP

Last thursday I received shocking news, a friend of mine that I have knew since 1999 has passed away.

I was sitting in Stefan's Audi after I was ready at a customer. Just when I wanted to drive away Kirsten called me with the horrifying news 'Hans is dood' (hans is dead). I sat there silent for a few seconds in shock. After the news got trough to me I hanged up the phone and drove back to the office (suddenly a bit more cautious then before).

There I saw that almost all IRC channels I was on where talking about the accident Hans was in. There is a webpage that kept everyone up to date.

Hans you where a good friend, I last saw you at LowLands 2004, RIP and hopefully they run UNIX in heaven. Bye Bye :(
