Bushnell Trophy Cam XLT

The Bushnell Trophy Cam XLT is a stout little box, which seals up tight and reminds me of an "otter box". It has a highly sensitive Passive Infra-red sensor, it appears on high sensitivity mode that this sensor is activated by movement up to 50 yards away. Below are some pictures captured at different times of day under different conditions, original pics are much larger (8MB 3kx2k res or so)

day time shot with plenty of light

convert phpbb to wordpress to blogger

I was in the search for a script or service that would assist me in not only migrating from phpbb to wordpress but actually to migrate from phpbb to blogger.

My first hurdle was the quality of responses on the internet, for some reason people couldn't understand the need to migrate data from a forum to a blog stating that these were very different systems.

You might want to rethink if you cant;

• understand the need

or make the connection between

• forum labels and blog tags
• forum topics and blog posts
• forum replies and blog comments

I see a service out there that makes you request a quote and apparently they base their price on the size of your data? say what?

Anyway, below is a quick and dirty sql script to go from phpbb2 to wordpress, use at your own risk

steps;

1. get a working environment with mysql (I installed WAMPstack)
2. import your phpbb db
3. install wordpress
4. edit and run the following on your mysql db

   begin;
   
   insert into wp_users (
   id,
   user_login,
   user_pass,
   user_nicename,
   user_email,
   user_url,
   user_registered,
   user_activation_key,
   user_status,
   display_name
   )
   select
   user_id,
   username,
   user_password,
   username,
   user_email,
   user_website,
   from_unixtime(user_regdate),
   'xxx',
   0,
   username
   from phpbb_users;
   
   insert into wp_posts (
   id,
   post_author, -- userid
   post_date_gmt,
   post_content,
   post_title,
   post_status,
   comment_status, -- open
   ping_status, -- open
   post_name,
   post_type
   )
   select
   p.topic_id,
   p.poster_id,
   from_unixtime(p.post_time),
   pt.post_text,
   pt.post_subject,
   'publish',
   'open',
   'open',
   pt.post_subject,
   'post'
   from phpbb_posts p
   join phpbb_posts_text pt ON p.post_id = pt.post_id
   where p.post_id in (

   select min(sp.post_id)

   from phpbb_posts as sp

   where sp.topic_id = p.topic_id

   )
   -- and p.forum_id in ();
   
   insert into wp_comments (
   comment_post_id,
   comment_author,
   comment_author_email,
   comment_author_url,
   comment_date,
   comment_content,
   comment_approved
   )
   select
   p.topic_id,
   u.username,
   u.user_email,
   u.user_website,
   from_unixtime(.p.post_time),
   pt.post_text,
   1
   from phpbb_posts p
   join phpbb_posts_text pt ON p.post_id = pt.post_id
   join phpbb_users u on p.poster_id = u.user_id
   where p.post_id not in (

   select min(sp.post_id)

   from phpbb_posts as sp

   where sp.topic_id = p.topic_id

   )
   -- and p.forum_id in ();
   
   insert into wp_terms (
   term_id,
   name,
   slug
   )
   select distinct
   forum_id,
   forum_name,
   forum_name from phpbb_forums
   --where forum_id in ();
   
   insert into wp_term_taxonomy (
   term_taxonomy_id,
   term_id,
   taxonomy
   )
   select forum_id, forum_id, 'category' from phpbb_forums

   -- where forum_id in ();
   
   
   insert into wp_term_relationships (
   object_id,
   term_taxonomy_id
   )
   select distinct topic_id, forum_id from phpbb_posts
   --where forum_id in ();
   
   commit;

5. login to your wordpress admin
6. confirm posts / comments
7. export (under tools)
8. convert your wordpress export at http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/
9. import your converted wordpress export in bloggger

Heart Lake, Lolo National Forest, Superior MT

Heart Lake Trail number 171 is reported to be an easy but long hike to the largest lake on the district located in an area proposed as a part of the Great Burn Wilderness. Heart Lake is in the Lolo National Forest and the largest alpine lake in the western Montana portion of the Bitterroot Mountains.

The lake is listed anywhere between 1.3 and 3 miles, unfortunately I could not get a GPS signal with the Motorola Droid and it was difficult to get a signal with the Garmin GPS as well. I did get some pictures tho.

Glacier Park Part 2 using the Motorola Droid, Google Maps, and Picasa

The Motorola Droid doesn't take the best pictures but its sync ability between picasa and 'my tracks' makes things fairly easy. Currently the steps required are to sync the pics from my phone to the picasa web album, download the picasa map for google earth then import this file into a new map within Google Maps 'My Maps'. Then I upload my tracks to the new map. This provides me with my tracks and geotagged pictures all within google maps, make sense? Got an easier way? I like the simplicity and clean look with the seperate slide show and gps track of the previous posts but then again i like the pictures placed on the map where they were taken as I attempted in this post.
testing testing

This trip involved a stay at Lake Five Resort just south of the West Glacier Entrance. Tracks show the first days trip from Lake Five Resort through West Glacier, into Apgar Village, then on to St. Marys and back to Lake Five. Tracks also show the second days trip from Lake Five Resort, to St Marys, then on to Many Glacier and back.
