Those of you reading this on the web probably already noticed that I changed my blog. I upgraded from Movable Type 2 (yes, 2) to WordPress.
My older blog is still available at the address http://beust.com/weblog/weblog2 and I made sure to update the RSS feeds and put in place all the mod_rewrite rules necessary to make this transition absolutely transparent to everyone, so hopefully, I didn’t lose anyone in the process.

worked for me.

Looking good Cedric! You don’t have any plans migrating your old blog posts to this new one? There must be some movable type to wordpress converters out there. Unless you like to start fresh 🙂

Congratulations on your move. It looks nice. There is a script in wp-admin directory to migrate your old posts from movable type to WordPress.
BTW: We use TestNG in our company with ant. Using Factory annotation, I wrote 10K tests. The tests ran fine but TestNG is taking an enormous amount of time and cpu and finally running out of heap space (I have 2 GB RAM + 2 GB swap on this machine). Is there a workaround? Do I need to provide more info?

Indeed, I was able to import all my old posts pretty easily, WordPress is really neat…

To me it’s monospaced and pixel-perfectly designed. That’s number 5 in the article you linked to, since years and years. Proggy.
Proggy for emacs. Proggy for my xterms. Proggy for IntelliJ IDEA.
To me italics are pure non-sense so are variable-width font.
To me it’s for programmers that are not very “math oriented”.
If you think about it and value your eyes, you’ll also want a color scheme like Zenburn.
I’m programming in “video reverse” since 25 years and still have very good eyesight (thanks to video reverse, in great part): still no glasses despite a quarter of a century spend behind a screen.
Anti-aliasing, altough it “looks” smart is really not good for programming.
It kills the eye.
But then I’m using Zenburn/Proggy, I’ve got 10/10 eyesight and only program in video reverse since 25 years, what do I know about that subject uh 😉

Weird, I must have subscribed to a very old url because this change wasn’t transparent to me. I had to manually check to see why I wasn’t seeing your articles. Only took me 4 months.
I was subbed to: http://beust.com/weblog/weblog/index.xml (which 404s now).
