About “Amused Cynicism”
This blog is the random musings of a computer programmer living in north west Europe. Subjects covered include: science, technology and computing; international and domestic politics; war, weapons and warfare; religion from a rationalist atheist viewpoint; and anything else that I find interesting.
I blog under the name “cabalamat” not because I want to be anonymous, but because I like the name.
The blog’s strapline “La liberté consiste à faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui” comes from the Declaration of the rights of Man and of the Citizen and is a declaration of my personal philosophy: people should be allowed to do anything they like, as long as they don’t harm others. Among other thnings I believe in freedom of speech, but that freedom doesn’t include the right to an audience: I have a moderation policy for this blog.
Humour is generally not marked on this blog: if you think I’ve said something stupid of offensive, I may have been joking. Then again, I might not have.

Could you move the postings from your old blog here? (I can still access your old blog through the Internet Archive).

I would like to put the posts from my old blog here. Unfortunately to do this I would first have to store them in a file format that WordPress can upload (my old blog used home-brewed blogging software, so I would have to write conversion software).

Could you give me some details of the WordPress file format? (Is it a species of XML?)

Yes the WordPress export format is XML. If you would like more details of it, I can email you the export file that this blog produces. (Or you might find it easier to set up your own WordPress blog, export its data and look at that file).
Note that WordPress can import from multiple formats; so an import file doesn’t have to be WordPress format.
