Moving a Typepad blog to WP for a client and she uses images in just about every post. Installation went fine, import went fine (after a bit of an issue with passwords and such). Since all the images are posted to typepad's server, that will become an issue when she turns off her account.
So, I'm off to look for a solution. First stop, of course, google search for a plugin or script that will handle the problem. Yippee, find one called cached-images. Install and press the magic button. It tells me it found all the posts with images, press the button to import. Nasty error message - your upload folder is not writable. Is so! Check the permissions on the directory, yep, permissions ok. Look at the code, dangit, its old WP code, looking for old settings. Off to google again. I find several people have tried to use this little tool, author hasn't updated it for more then a year.
Back to the mill and another try at caching the images myself.
Update on kGTD: Extensive use every day. Although I'm enjoying using it, I wonder how long before I question using it. I need to give it 15 to 30 days before making a final decision. Its a new tool, a new way of keeping track of what I do. One of the techniques in GTD is to make your mind like water. If you mind doesn't have to remember all the things it has to get done (They're saved elsewhere) then it doesn't have to keep bubbling important things to the top. That's like when you come downstairs to get a glass of water and you forget why you came down in the first place. Your mind has been elsewhere - remembering, filing, categorizing, etc. It does seem like I slept a bit better now that I'm using a new system.
