Gargleblaster updated (again)

One definition says, “A blog is a frequently updated, personal Web site featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles or other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects. Blogs are unique to the Web.”

sigh…

I hate to admit it, but gargleblaster.org has been a “blog” right from the start at may 2002.
I used the rose engine, but the developer pulled the plug.
And two years without further development is too long.

So I went looking for a new one. Movable Type? nah..I don’t like perl. Bloxsom? again perl…
After some googling I arrived at www.wordpress.org. PHP/ Mysql…looking good…xhtml compliant output, css templated design….looking better….download…clickerdeclickerdie hey up and running in 5 minutes.

I’m impressed. And…lazy by nature I went looking for a css template. I found this overview, from which I took Guthenberg.

Some tweaking, some fiddling..tada ready.
Now the migratiion of the rose db to wp database….done (manually, only 64 postings again to lazy to write up a script).

But I’m quite satisfied. Finally I’ve got RSS feed, and I can post from my mobile phone.
I hope you’ll like it to.

First pictures of Apple Expo Paris 2004

I’m not going this year, but when you see the pictures…

MacObserver has posted several pictures of the work in progress at the expo centre in Paris.

I wonder what there is behind the black curtain. Shall it be the new iMac? We’ll probably know it on next tuesday.

A very nice collection of links, related to CSS and webdesign in general. Now I only need some time:)

While browsing my new cms supplier’s website, I stumbled against this site with an excellent collection of background patterns.
