Welcome to a new version of my blog. Finally it is version 4.0. The two first versions were completely written from scratch in PHP. Then I thought it would be cool to have some CMS functionality and switched to Typo3. To be honest, I was never really happy with T3. I know it is a huge CMS - but it is not very intuitive to use. In addition, the pool of available plugins lack of documentation and configuration needs too much time IMHO.

I played with Wordpress a year ago when creating a blog for a friend of mine - and I have to say that the backend and its usage is very intuitive and user-orientated. So, finally here is version 4.0 of my blog now powered by Wordpress. Many thanks for this very cool design has to go to Michael Tyson who made this template called “Elegant Grunge“.

Since it will take some time to copy some of my works to the new systems - I decided to let the old blog online for some time. You can find it at:
