I had this great idea to write about politics and open source software, and rented isono.my for a year as a domain to do it on. I decided after a few months that I wouldn’t continue with it, for … the same reason I’m not going to finish this sentence. It’s a pity to let the articles just disappear though, so I’ve copied them from the now defunct blog to this one.<\/p>\n
It’s very easy, just go into the Dashboard of the origin blog and use Tools..Export to export the articles to a file on your own PC. From the Dashboard on the new blog, use Tools..Import to import the articles! You’ll notice that all the image links are broken – unless I did something wrong yesterday. All my articles had links to images on isono.my, when the images are now on blog.lolyco.com\/sean. My solution to this was to use SSH to login to my hosting account, and use the mysql command line client to run this SQL statement:<\/p>\n
I’ve just re-typed that from memory, as the command seems not to have been stored in my command history when I checked just now. Be very careful to double-check the command before you use it yourself, and remember to do a backup first<\/strong>!<\/p>\n After running the SQL command, you should be able to reload a page (perhaps after clearing your browser cache) and see the new URL, and hopefully, your images too. If you don’t have access to a command line, perhaps your host gives you access to a graphical database admin tool like phpMyAdmin. Ask them if you don’t know.<\/p>\n as a stranger in Malaysia since 2005, I still can’t get used to the idea that nobody ever says “You what?!” when another person is obviously mistaken – at best.<\/p>\n the Opposition coalition doesn’t really exist, so perhaps asking where a non-existent political entity has its headquarters is unfair. Gape in awe at the prospect of a political party skyscraper.<\/p>\n the Opposition flags are nice and simple – you can use open source tools and the open SVG standard to make sure everyone can use them, and they look good at any size.<\/p>\n Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s flag makes a good target for a tutorial on how to go about converting a bitmapped image into SVG using InkScape<\/p>\n DAP’s logo is the most complex of the 3 – but it’s still simple! DAP also put a bit of effort into explaining the symbolism of their rocket. I’m not totally convinced they’ve got it right.<\/p>\nupdate wp_posts set post_content = replace(post_content, 'isono.my', 'blog.lolyco.com\/sean');<\/code><\/p>\nThe isono.my articles<\/h2>\n
