Re: MOVING YOUR BLOG FROM TYPEPAD TO WORDPRESS

cordblomquist — Tue, 12 May 2015 15:57:02 -0000

Tori, are you using Typepad? I'm happy to help you with TP2WP. I'm one of the co-creators of the service.

Re: Typepad to WordPress Migration

cordblomquist — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 18:25:51 -0000

The regex queries suggested above are just some of the queries that TP2WP runs on TypePad MTIF export files. I created the TP2WP service with my friend Pete Snyder after we migrated Marginal Revolution from TypePad to WordPress. Our process first converts the MTIF file to WordPress XML and then relies on a modified version of the WordPress importer to move over file attachments such as images or MP3 files. You can check it out at http://tp2wp.com

Re: Moving from Typepad to WordPress is painful

Rachel, your readers may want to check out http://tp2wp.com which I created with my friend Pete Snyder. It combines automated data conversion with a custom importer plugin to allow for a more smooth transition to WordPress that should address the problem you ran into during your migration from TypePad to WordPress.

I've printed this out after reading it quickly here online. With posts like this, I like to reread on paper, highlight, and create action lists. Of course I'll be creating those as a new project in WORKetc!

Re: The Post-Gladwellian Paradox: Why Intuitive is the New Counterintuitive

cordblomquist — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:48:51 -0000

The entire "turns out" industry needs to be recognized as a fad and the claims made by its most successful practitioners need to be met with skepticism. A claim's being counterintuitive does not grant it special status nor place it above suspicion and doubt. Or at least it shouldn't.

Glad so many people have liked this. 8 is quite a number for me! Computers are disembodied brains and just like biological brains, they can't really think. I can't wait until technologies like Watson are combined with robotics and sensors to create something that could really create its own knowledge of the world. As of now, we just have things that processes our knowledge of the world.

Re: Why Anonymous will never be able to take down the power grid

Has anonymous done anything other than DDoS attacks and hacking a few high profile web pages? I don't recall any other forms of "cyber terrorism."

I was thinking of the IRC server which clues new users into the trusted nodes that maintain the BitCoin data, but failsafes seem to be in place in case this is ever taken down: http://www.readwriteweb.com...

Re: Bitcoin: Imagine a net without intermediaries

cordblomquist — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 13:00:53 -0000

Jerry, doesn't Bitcoin still have a centralized record of all the coins "minted" in its history? I believe that's the case, and if it is, doesn't that mean that there is still a central authority, at least in a sense that there's a central keeper of information?

Re: The Internet Kill-Switch Debate

cordblomquist — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 20:01:10 -0000

Jerry's question here is really important. Does the Internet kill-switch bill make the law worse, or does it actually provide some sort of procedure for an existing power held by the President? Maybe we shouldn't be asking if this bill goes to far, but rather if it goes far enough. That is, if it is in fact limiting the powers outlines in the statute that Jerry references above. I'll leave it to you lawyers to figure that out.

So is the really interesting part of this story that Level3 is trying to take advantage of its backbone status by dumping Netflix traffic onto consumer ISPs and expecting them to shoulder that added traffic at no charge?

Re: http://inconversation.net/post/1484124685

cordblomquist — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 01:56:18 -0000

I think that government ought to allow folks to say whatever they want. Otherwise, we start down a slippery slope toward controlled speech and state-run propaganda machines. I do, however, think that we can try to make people take responsibility for their speech through pressure in the marketplace, which has already happened when it comes to video games. The ESRB rates video games and most stores (GameStop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart) voluntarily comply with the industry's standards, which includes not selling M-rated (Mature) games to minors. So, I think we've got a good thing going in the United States.

I just think it's ridiculous for the Japanese to block the swastikas from uniforms of Nazis in a game. The Nazis did wear the symbol, so why not portray it? Sure, they're zombies in this case, but if a Nazi were a zombie, it'd probably still have a swastika on it's arm.

I should just be uninterested in everything because it's all phony, right? I should just kick it totally hipster-Holden-Caulfield style.

Here goes: "I hate everything because it's not ironic enough!"

Dwayne, You should be able to do this through the DNS settings for your domain. Do you know what name servers you are using? To figure this out, first check out your domain registrar's website and check out if your DNS server is one of theirs or if you've redirected it to your server.
