mephisto migration

Well, I've finally made a blog engine switch. I've converted to mephisto from blojsom. With the release of blojsom 3 I was faced with a migration. The new version switched from a filesystem based data-store to a database. While that is very cool, it creates a few issues regarding plugins and such. Rather than rewrite my plugins to support blojsom 3, I decided to switch to mephisto. It's more of a language switch for me, as I initially chose blojsom because it was written in java. Since I'm doing a lot of ruby stuff these days, I figured I might as well use a blogging system written in my language of choice.

While migrating, I wrote a blojsom to mephisto conversion tool and a feedlist/feedreader plugin for mephisto. Both of which will be released when I get a chance. I also hacked mephisto to support trackbacks. I will be submitting that as a patch once I get my unit tests completed.

Doing all this ruby hacking has allowed me to clean up some rubycomplete issues, so I'll hopefully have a shiny new version available soon.
