To make things worse, the Wordpress hack pandemic has been skyrocketing. Really ugly stuff. To the point that I have been forced to clean the wordpress installation from infection 5 times in a year. That's almost twice a month. Not even our crappy friend Windows is so prone to infection. Outrageous.

Whenever I felt like posting a little bit, I couldn't. And by the time I was done cleaning up the mess, the mood was gone. So, change was needed, and I decided to switch to Movable Type, whose security record is particularly good.

During the switch, the encoding of the older entries went rogue again. In a final effort to become totally useless, wordpress managed to bring up again the whole UTF-8 vs Latin1 encoding fiasco. Whoopy shit. Thankfully, it is the last time will happen. Bye bye Wordpress.

So, expect a deep cleaning of the older entries. I will reformat some of them, probably delete a lot of them, and definitely write more from now on. By the way, I moved to Brazil. South American stamps where missing from my passport, so I decided to give it a try. Now there is only Antarctica left...

A haiku, from one of the four great masters, feels appropiate for ending this post:

though I'm loving
these travels of mine...
it's cold!
