Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Graffiti CMS is a pretty awesome blogging tool published by the folks at Telligent. I started playing with it a few weeks ago and immediately fell in love. I knew that others would as well.
Of course I knew that there would be a lot of folks running dasBlog who might want to move to Graffiti, after all, Graffiti 1.1 has built in import for dasBlog posts.
When I learned of this I contacted the folks at Telligent and got a pre-release beta version to play with. After exchanging a few dozen emails with Jayme at Telligent I sent them some fixed up import code that would allow a dasBlog user to import all their posts and maintain their dasBlog permalinks as well as categories. Moving from one blog engine to another is generally a PITA so my goal was to make it pretty painless and since I've spent a few years working on dasBlog I figured it would be pretty easy for me .
Moving from dasBlog to Graffiti is a two step process:
You can get the dasBlog301 plugin from CodePlex.
Enjoy!
