Hello dear visitors. Things have been a little slow here. This is because:

• a) Tweets do not get through to this blog anymore, because of Gnip‘s spotty behaviour.

• b) I am on Elternzeit (parent time) now. That means that I do not work. Not at all. And I still get money from the german government. Neat, isn‘t it? For the time from August until middle of October, I will stay with my wife and baby Linn, which is obviously absolutely fabulous. And if I can find some time between pushing the stroller and enjoying the last days of summer, I will spend it on c)...

• c) I am building a new Content Management for this site in the back. I would like to be able to post faster and shorter and tie in the feeds from Flickr, Twitter and Del.icio.us. The current idea is to build on the very clever Sweetcron, create a custom theme and add all the functionality that I am missing by myself. Fortunately Sweetcron was done on the php framework CodeIgniter, therefore it is clearly structured and relatively easy to build upon. Still I don‘t know where this is going and if I can get it off the ground, but it‘s fun so far.

For a look at my offline activities, please drop by on my Flickr page. See you soon!
