…and back to WordPress again…

A while ago I swapped my blog to BlogEngine.NET, then to MiniBlog, then to Ghost, then back to MiniBlog. Now I’m going back to WordPress again after a decade or so.

MiniBlog

Yes, I went and did it. I converted my blog to MiniBlog. It is much lighter than BlogEngine.NET. I’m liking the HTML5 and it should be fun to tweak it out a bit more too.

A warning for anybody foolish enough to have a fingerprint reader from DigitalPersona

Yeah, I know, guilty… Turns out the reason my Visual Studio 2008 has been having TypeLibBuilder.exe crash constantly on client side script is the dpAgent.exe helper process from DigitalPersona. If you kill the process all is happy again.
