I’m off work until January. I took this opportunity to partake in chores such as fixing a toilet and switching away from wordpress.

After suffering wordpress for half a decade I finally switched to a combination of Octopress + Disqus.

It took:

• a few hours of tweaking the combination of exitwp.py, html2text.py to convert my blog without busting links, images
• a few hours of decyphering octopress/github documentation to setup a website
• an hour to figure out where images should live (in source/assets)

Thanks to everyone that suggested Octopress.

Goodbye word-style wordpress bitchwork.
