Lost in Migration!

Hi everyone,
I’ll cross-post this at The Nowtopian too, but the basic story is that I cannot get WordPress to upload photos or become easy to use… I went to the support forums and there are dozens of messages, mostly either unanswered, or answered with complicated programming-like instructions, that lead me to believe that the hype around WordPress is way overblown, and it’s a cumbersome, unfriendly piece of software. The upshot is my pal Brian A. is offering to set me up with a new Drupal-based blog and we’ll hopefully have it running soon… in the meantime I actually start teaching today (!!!), a class “Shaping San Francisco’s History” at New College. So I’m a bit busy with that and everything else. In the meantime, here are a couple of images from recent days, the lovely Critical Mass last Friday and a typical image of me at the top of Twin Peaks…

Will let you all know when something is up and running for REAL!!

Migrating

Hi everyone… I’m up and running at a new blog: The Nowtopian. Haven’t got anything interesting there yet, but I guess I’ll move my blogging over there from now on… I haven’t been able to import this site into the new one, and unless someone wants to help puzzle it out, I’ll probably just let it go. This body of work is here for a while, and when and if it goes down, I have hard copy and electronic backups… sad to see it go, but it’s like email and such. Once you’ve moved to a new software platform or machine, as often as not, you lose what you had before. As someone said to me recently, the Internet is an elaborate conspiracy to flush away all history before 1993!… not really, but I get the point. Anyway, look for future blogging at the new one rather than here…. Thanks for reading.

Tech help?

Hi all,
I’ve been notified that my long-time host, LiP magazine, is moving its website, and thus, it’s time for me to find a new home for this blog. I have a place to host it, but not being super adept at this, I could use some technical help in installing Movable Type and then importing all the contents of this blog going back to late 2004… anyone out there got a little time and skill to help? thanks in advance.
