If thoughts could write blog posts, this blog would be updated every 15 minutes with relevant technological goodness. Unfortunately for me, this isn’t the case; at least not yet. I have to find time, sit down in front of my MacBook Pro (which I got off of eBay and am very happy with except for the fact that I overpaid), and try to recall what happened to me during the day. This kind of situation is not very common for me.

So what do I do? In general, I want to keep this blog updated and yet I can’t ever get into a specific situation where this is the case. I don’t have a solution to this dilemma yet. Perhaps I’ll also post about this issue on this blog.

First things first–the transfer is complete. This’ll be the domain I use from now on. I’ve setup the server myself. The specs are fairly respectable and the pipe is good. I’ll be continually playing with my LAMP and OS setup in order to achieve maximum performance with what I have.

I’ve also chosen a new template, which will allow me to better utilize the screen space. I don’t believe it’s wise to only have a 500-700 pixel sliver on the screen for content. It forces the visitors the scroll down a lot, which in turn makes it hard to follow guides or even read. I’ll modify this template by darkening it a bit in order to not blind my visitors, remove all the German text (for obvious reasons), and finally, making the text a bit smaller (not too small). If you have any suggestions about any of this stuff, feel free to drop me a line.

Finally, I’m changing the concept, or main driving idea behind this blog. I’ll mostly dedicate it to writing about my experience with computers, programming, and technology in general. I’ll leave the social commentary to order venues.
