64 Bytes

just a few characters short of a code base.

64bytes.com is now running BlogEngine.NET

Nothing to major here, just made a move to use the BlogEngine.NET from using SUBTEXT. This will include a few minor visual changes, but most everything was under the hood ;-).

The biggest pain was mapping all the old posts to the new permalink format. This entailed a bit of hackery to the 404 page so that I could map all of the old posts to there new URLS.

The main cause for the change was so that I could use a blogging client to write my posts. As I am (in theory) going to start doing weekly screen-casts; I figure a little better posting experience was a good thing

A little history lesson.

clock April 26, 2007 17:23 by author josh

        So where did Ktomics come from? For those that don't know thats our little startup in question  . To answer that I figured I would put a little history lesson together.

  • Sometime in 2003 : Co-Conspirator and I begin discussion of really cool app (Sorry I won't tell you what)
  • Later in 2003: We come up with the name Ktomics as it includes a letter related to our project and sounds cool (like Atomics! and power and stuff  )
  • Still Later in 2003: We begin development
  • Even Later in 2003: We stop working at the same place and development calms
  • Sometime in 2004: I continue the name (with permission) and develop and sell several DotNetNuke Modules thru www.Snowcovered.com.
    • They are now open source, and the Wiki module will soon be the core Wiki Module for DotNetNuke. You can find out more at www.ktomics.net
  • Early 2006: I start refactoring that old project based on new technology.
  • Mid 2006: Co-Conspirator and I take a look at the refactoring  I was doing, we agree to kick things off again as its a project that needs more than one person.
  • Early 2007: A client opportunity appears
  • Now: We have a client, a down payment, an active development cycle, a plan and this blog to track thing.

     Now some of you may be wondering "but that means you have been around for a while". While that’s "technically" true, selling a few DotNetNuke modules on www.Snowcovered.com is like selling the occasional trinket on ebay or craigslist. Its neither time consuming, nor a business.

Well here it is! My associate and I are embarking on the creation of a new small business. We have our first client, and are actively developing a commercial product. So I figured, why not blog on the event. I'll try to dicuss our trials, tribulations, and techical challanges. I'll also throw in a little bit of regular life and other things I'm intrested in as I go :-).

So stay tuned as we start this little adventure.
