Like so many others, I’ve gotten fed up with Typo. After much frustration, I’ve given up waiting for the application to become stable. I’m not sure if it was only because I was hosting on Dreamhost, but I suspect that they were at least partially to blame for the constant crashing. So, to make my life easier I’ve moved on to Wordpress. Unfortunately I’ve lost all the comments to my Typo posts. However I have been able to import my old blogger blog, and some of my old Livejournal posts.

So I finally figured out what was breaking Typo. I was using the latest trunk from Typo because the stable released version is so far behind the current dev version. I was also using a theme that was designed for stable release. As a result the theme broke Typo. So I took the out of the box layout from the default theme and the stylesheet from the theme I wanted. Amazingly enough, it is almost identical to the old theme and with a couple of minor changes to the layout, it is close enough.
Looks like it isn’t Dreamhost’s fault after all. Still the desire for mongrel support is there. If I find a competitive hosting package that has mongrel support I’ll probably make the switch.

I’ve made some changes and hopefully this will rectify the problem. Thankfully I found a coupon for Dreamhost that waived the initial setup fee, so I can comfortably look for better hosting without the worry that I out $50. Hopefully I can find a place that offers mongrel support and doesn’t break the bank for decent diskspace & bandwidth needs.
Sphere: Related ContentOne of the things that was important to me in starting a new blog was the ability to combine all my blog posting into one blog instead of multiple blogs for each type of content. The problem is that it is considered proper blogging ettiquete to focus one general subject in a blog so that anyone who happens on by can more easily find the information they are looking for.
Enter per category feeds. This adds a whole new level of flexibility with my blog. Now I can provide feeds that are specific to categories or tags, and not worry about being all over the place with my content.
