Cool pointer from Miguel Jimenez to CSVerter. Worth a look if your wanting to upgrade your .Text blog to CS.

UPDATE 03-03-05: I've corrected the link to Miguel's site.

Guys at Interscape have released a tool named CSVerter that performs the migration from .Text 0.95 to Community Server 1.0... It converts everything in your .Text database to the new schema, including: blog author, comments, posts, articles, groups and much more. You can read the full specs in the Community Server Forums post by Interscape. And you can download this handy tool from Interscape servers at CSVerter 1.0

I will surely try this tool during this weekend to perform the migration of blogs.clearscreen.com after I finish my Community Server tests.

And one more thing about Community Server is that the source code has already been released... this way I can include my own anti-spam control, and perform some tweaks that I don't like in the compiled version. You can check the source code here: Community Server 1.0 Source Code.

Diet Mt. Dew tends to be my drink of choice these days - which is cool, because it is one of the drinks that is part of Pepsi's current iTunes promotion. It seems that recently I have run into a bit of a hot streak:



So, last night I went to the iTunes Music Store and redeemed my prizes. Since I wasn't "paying" for these, I decided to branch out and look for some different kinds of "stuff". Here's what I picked:

  • "Heart of Mine" - Norah Jones & The Peter Malick Group
  • "Crazy Love" - Ray Charles & Van Morrison
  • "Here We Go Again" - Ray Charles & Norah Jones
  • "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" - Dierks Bentley
  • "Awful Beautiful Life" - Darryl Worley
  • "The Benevolent One" - Dave Holland Quintet
  • "Serenade" - Dave Holland Quintet

    I cheated a bit as I was already a Norah Jones fan. That woman has one of the greatest singing voices I've ever heard. Otherwise, it was (IMO) quite an eclectic combination of choices. But a great marketing campaign for both Pepsi and Apple. I bought a soda and then won a chance to "try" the Apple Music Store. Neat concept - and it was the first time I'd redeemed a bottle cap for a song. The last wave of free tunes must have fallen off of the Pepsi truck on the way to Indianapolis because I didn't get a single winner. ;-)

    What did you use your free tunes for?
