Organ Donor (y/n)

Today a massive campaign has started to create awareness of the importance of donating organs after death. One of the events organized was to have public figures trying to recruit organ donors, which was broadcasted on nu.nl (the biggest dutch news site); the same office building I work at.

All the celebrities  passing by didn’t mean much to me. What caught my eye was the effort everyone was taking to make people aware of a problem and trying to convince them to become organ donors.

When Shit goes Wrong…

When shit goes wrong it tends to do this for me on epic scale. Today everything seemed to go awry.

What about the Blog?

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. 😉
