Phew! This was though but I did it. Finally, I finished migrating all my stuff from my old .Text installation to Community Server.
And it was not easy. At all. I must say that this is what CS lacks a most. A good tool to do migrate all your old stuff to the new blog.
My first idea was to do a mirror installation of CS on my desktop machine, so I can do fiddle with the database and not risking to screw my life installation (which is actually a pretty good idea if you would like to do anything other than posting). Then I decided that I will do use only the two databases and try something simple to pump the old data to the CS database. I must admit that I am pretty lazy and I did not pay too much attention to understand the db structure of CS. First I wanted to use CSverter but I could not download it (link must be broken). Then I decided to use Dan Bartel's sql script, but I was not able to make it work and I was a bit worried about screwing up the integrity of the db.
After all this I decided that I will write a simple command line tool and will use MetaWeblog API to send the data to CS. Sure, it broke the comments and categories, but I fixed the categories manually and the comments were few so I did not bother to migrate them.
First, I thought that doing some parts manually would be a hassle and major pain, but it was not. Reorganizing my past posts was good and relaxing activity and it also gave me the chance to think about why I am doing this blog and what I want with it. I think I am doing this only for recording the stuff I have seen and some of the code I want to remember later. Do not want to do big statements or evangelizing myself, only an easy to search repository of the stuff I was interested let's say 2 years ago.
Now, I need to do something how the site looks. So, this is the next step I guess. And to upload some photos, only if CS would have a mass posting capability.
