Hi Sam,

From one Sam to another, I've been a longtime follower of your blog :-). I sincerely hope you find a good one this time :-) However, just for consideration, you might want to list that you're looking for "consulting" gigs, unless you want more permanent employment. In following you, you seem to have had some cool positions that seemed to give you a lot of what you're asking for in this post (e.g. Algo, Neudesic to name a couple) but you didn't stay at them very long. That would suggest more "nomadic" behavior, which may deter your quest to secure some of the more promising opportunities. I don't know, but you might be better of looking at Microsoft. Have you considered that? You've mentioned in the past that you've had a number of contacts/good friends there. Now might be the time to pull that trigger! :-)

Good luck guy!

Hi Sam,

Another alternative that may be worth it is to move the blog to Wordpress... I just moved my GraffitiCMS blog to wordpress and couldn't be happier. The migration was easy to do and was finished with about an hour or two of total downtime.

Hey Sam, I work for another web host. I've seen this issue in the past for some of our clients. They've have had a lot of luck using this method to get their data transferred over to a separate SQL Server instance instead of using VistaDB. blog.boyet.com/.../converting-graf (note: I don't work for godaddy, but the instructions should go for any host I assume)

I think once you get it on the SQL Server instance you'll see the performance issues disappear. VistaDB does the job for a bit, but it just can't hold up compared to SQL Server, especially for something that gets the traffic that I'm sure your blog gets.

Wish I could help further, but Graffiti and CS upgrades are out of my element - I'm more of a performance / architecture guy. Hopefully someone with some more experience can take the aforementioned article and their Graffiti experience and hook you up.
