Various things

Archives have grown a bit

More blog articles have migrated from the old db4free.blogspot.com to the new mpopp.net (that’s here) blog. They can all be found in the Archives section.

But if you find this blog, having expected to end up at db4free.blogspot.com (first of all: WELCOME!) … db4free.blogspot.com is no more! Well, it still sort of exists technically, but all visits are being redirected to this place here. Google Analytics allowed me to identify the most frequently accessed articles and I moved them over. So if you go e.g. to http://db4free.blogspot.com/2009/01/dolphins-in-sky.html you end up right at http://www.mpopp.net/2009/01/dolphins-in-the-sky/. If you go to an article which has not (yet?) been migrated over, you land right at the www.mpopp.net main page.

However, most articles are much older than “Dolphins in the sky”. Most of them date back to 2005-2006. Please be aware that they may be out of date, that links may be broken, and even (also that happens) that my opinions may have changed since then. So their purpose is often to maintain a piece of history. Sometimes they can still be useful.

More articles may follow, but certainly not all. For sure I will try to maintain what is worth to maintain. But db4free.blogspot.com is the past. The mpopp.net blog is the future!

db4free.net blog has moved and what’s new

It was about time to switch to something new.

I finally have my new blog launched at www.mpopp.net which is something that I had planned for quite a while. This new blog is a replacement for my old blog at db4free.blogspot.com where people will find news and posts about db4free.net and MySQL. But since db4free.blogspot.com used to be specific to db4free.net and MySQL (implied by its name), it was not a good place to blog about various different topics as well, which I found increasingly limiting. So I decided for a new blog, run by WordPress, which will allow me to categorize my blog posts to target people who are interested in specific topics.

Some of them will be:

… so far, not much new and most posts which go into one category will go into the other as well.

Further categories that I’m thinking of are:

If you had my old blog bookmarked or had linked to it on your blog or site, please add or update the bookmark or link to my new blog. And if you have not done so far, why not do so now?

Welcome to my new home!
