I don't do this often, but for some reason I felt like posting this photo.Sunday evening, me and my son went out  photographing and I ended up taking this shot.

Last years post/site statistics look like this:

Seems I'm pretty consistent.

Whoa, what happened?

Well, for one thing the site is now powered by Habari and not Wordpress. So long WP, and thanks for all the fish. Wordpress has been running great on this site since October 2004 but its time for me to move on.

There are many reasons why I decided to leave Wordpress behind, and I might very well post something outlining my specific issues at a later date.

For now though, I just want to focus on Habari and on the new theme I managed to put together. The theme isn't 100% finished yet, but instead of procrastinating more I figured I just had to jump in and get my feet wet.

The biggest change is probably that I've decided to go for a more "magazine style" theme, and not your usual timeline based blog layout (Personally I've really not considered this site to be a blog, but thats just a question of definitions I guess). I have a couple of other features yet to implement and I'm sure there are lots of small errors I will spend time on tweaking as the site evolves from here. One of the features I expect to have ready very soon is an alternative front page view for those of the readers who prefer to view the site chronologically, like it used to be. Also, you could always use the site feed which now is Atom 1.0 based and always will be chronological.

Lastly I want to thank the Habari community for the support and continued development of the Habari Platform. As a community they have been very welcome to any input given and the development process seems to be one of enjoyment and a common interest in creating something new rather than any ulterior motives.

If you have any comments or questions regarding the site, theme or why I migrated over, please let me know by using the comment form below.

Back in April VMware hosted the 2007 Technical Solutions Exchange (TSX) for the EMEA region in Nice, France.
After a small delay, the presentations from the event has now been made available for download.

Seems like it was a good event, sadly I didn't have a chance to attend it. Somehow I did manage to get myself mentioned though, as Robert Dell’Immagine (Director of Community over at VMware) had a list of sites he wanted to mention:

Too funny.

I've installed a Wordpress plugin that enables the usage of OpenID authentication when posting comments. Please let me know if this causes any problems, although I don't suspect it will.

If this breaks commenting, I'm not sure how you are supposed to tell me though...
