Month: November 2012

Today I set about trying to import my old Snowey blog posts. There were 644 entries dating back to 22/09/2005! Didn`t realise that I has posted so many!

I wrote a quick PHP script to take each table entry and check for certain criteria with in the blog posting. If they were not there then it would import the entry.
The criteria that I was checking for were – inappropriate language, inappropriate content, content that I had deemed no longer relevant and a few other miscellaneous things.

Sadly there were only a few entries that were passed and imported! Given that I don`t really think that it is worth importing those few as they might not be understandable due to prior blog postings not being there for reference!

Will have to see though, as some of the posts I would like to put back up.

After more than 11 years of running my Snowey websites I have decided to take them offline.

I started them as a bit of fun when Smokey and I were forced to participate in various social events and gatherings and ended up like a couple of plums in the corner.

Sadly, now I have grown up, they do not fit in with my life style anymore and a lot of the content is not really appropriate for what I am doing now.

I will never dump the domains so maybe one day, when I have more time, more money and more appropriate things to go on there and I might restore them from the backup.
