doomheaven.uk is moving house.
It started life as a Doom fan site back in the late 90s — WADs, screenshots, whatever bits of Doom nonsense felt worth putting on the web at the time. It’s sat online quietly ever since, hosted the whole way through by teamhellspawn.com, who’ve now let me know they’re winding things down.
I want to say a proper thank you to them for that. Free webspace for the better part of three decades is a genuinely long time to keep something ticking over for no reason beyond being decent about it, and rather than just switching it off, they gave me the chance to get everything off in one piece before it went. Not everyone bothers with that on the way out, so it was appreciated.
Something I’ve been meaning to do for years, finally done: my old Blogger blogs are moving in here, one by one.
Before this blog, and running alongside it for years without me really thinking of them as related, I kept separate Blogger sites for whatever I was into at the time — fractal art, tech links, photography. They mostly went dormant, but they never got deleted, and every so often I’d think “I should really pull that lot into 0x32 someday.” Google Takeout finally made “someday” easy: it exports a Blogger blog as an Atom feed with every post’s original title, HTML body, labels, and publish timestamp intact, so nothing needs backdating by hand. A Claude Code session parsed each export, converted the posts into Hugo front matter with their real dates, and mapped Blogger’s labels onto tags — three separate imports, one per blog.
