It’s the 4th Friday of the month and you know it’s time for your favorite A Gentle Introduction to Linux for Non-Geeks again! If you’re wondering about the rather skimpy content of Cryptic Clarity of late, it’s because I’ve been traveling and there’s an important deadline coming up. Perfectly legitimate and acceptable excuses wouldn’t you say? I should be able to devote more time to this little project of mine once 2007 is behind us. Anyways back to our Linux.

It’s the 4th Friday of the month and you know it’s time for your favorite A Gentle Introduction to Linux for Non-Geeks again! Did you go see the Simpsons Movie yet? We in Germany are lucky enough to see the film one day ahead of the official release in the US and the UK; in fact, some movie theaters were showing the dubbed version on the 25th already! Without telling you guys too much I’ll only say this: No it doesn’t suck at all, no it’s not the best episode ever, and yes I’d watch it another 50 times! Do you know that Ben & Jerry’s made an ice cream flavor called “Duff and D’oh-Nuts” specially for the movie premiere in Springfield, Vermont? It’s a combination of chocolate and cream stout with chunks of glazed chocolate donuts. According to Ben & Jerry’s it’s a “one-time and one-day-only” flavor, but who says we can’t make our own donut ice cream?

Some of you might have seen the announcement, but for those of you who haven’t, Cryptic Clarity moved and has a new home (plus a brand new forum!) If you’re using the latest version of WordPress (2.2.x) and are planning to move your blog to a new host, here’s what I did in 7 simple steps to help you along the way. All the tutorials I’ve found require a manual backup of your MySQL database before the move. This tutorial will show you how to backup your blogs and comments effortlessly without having to tinker with the MySQL database. The following is assumed in our example:
- Your account with your old host is still active.
- You own the domain for your blog: www.your-blog.net
- Root directory for your current blog installation: /wordpress
- You know the DNS for your new host: ns1.new-server.com, ns2.new-server.com
Ready…Set…Go!
