A note about the site: I’ve migrated blog content for overt.org from Wordpress to Hugo. Hugo stores posts as Markdown and then converts them into static HTML for publication.

I migrated to Wordpress from PostNuke in 2004, which included writing my own PostNuke to WordPress converter by hand in PHP. Before that I had written my own CMS in ColdFusion, backed by an Access database. So that’s 20 years of Wordpress! A good run.

Hugo keeps things simple and lets me manage the content in a git repo. Of course, I had to convert from Wordpress to Hugo, but in 2025 that just meant a vibe-coded Python script from Claude Code that did a fabulous job of extracting all my embedded images and videos for the last 25 years, converted historical comments into Markdown, fixing many broken links in the process.

After extracting all the embedded images from Gallery (now hosted on Piwigo) I also decided to put gallery behind a password. Although it was getting 200k+ hits per day, I don’t think any of them were from people I know :) If you’ve known me for a while you can probably guess the username and password.

Some consequences of this migration are no more comments and no more search. But you you click the archives on the right you can search through the title of any post, and using site:overt.org on your favorite search engine is gonna work too.
