Unexpected application of technology

Today I saw an application of a technology which I didn’t think about: an hearing impaired boy “talking” at a videophone using the sign language. Uh..I’d love to see more technology giving such an help to impaired people.

Never thought about becoming a webdesigner…

…but now I’m busy developing two websites…
I chose to use Wordpress as CMS because I know it well enough to make it do what I want it to do and lately it became flexible enough to be more than a simple blog platform.

Once in a while: todo list update

Moved to gnome2-lite

After more than 3 years (may be more..) I moved from xfce4 to gnome2-lite on my laptop. Desktop wil follow if the experience with gnome during the EuroBSDCon DevSummit will be a positive one.
Sad? Not too much.

Things that come back

Today, many things appeared again in my life:
