On a side note, I am slowly starting to work on some things to change my blog. Since the release of WordPress 3.0 it’s possible to host multiple blogs with one install.

I am planning on making a second blog, which will look a lot like this one. The major difference is that blog will have a complete Dutch focus (and yes, will also be in Dutch). There’s so much stuff going on in my own back yard that I want to vent on but it seems silly to write to an English audience about.

As such I’ve started researching how to modify my current theme to be up to date to support the current theme standards and better support internationalization. It involves cleaning up my code, messing with CSS and playing with Cufon to generate titles and subtitles which are now static images.

hopefully I will be able to finish this on short notice. The biggest hurdle will be not to be distracted by my many other hobbies.

Wish me luck.

I’m not sure what’s up but the last few days my blog has been overrun by spam. Akismet is running overtime and its catch rate is dropping steadily.

Until the spam situation is under control and Akismet is getting its act together all new comments will need approval unless they have a previously approved post. That means your replies will show with a delay. My apologies in advance.

In the light of some extra time on my hands I am now a guest blogger on the techblog of my friend Jemimus: thefluffyadmin.net. There I will share some of my views to a more techy public. It also allows me to complement Jemimus’ vast Windows skills with my own open source experience.
