For a long time I have wanted to find an alternative to Wordpress. It felt like an obstacle which needed overcoming every time I had an idea for a blog post. The result being that I didn’t get any posts published (I have a few drafts which I never finished).
I’ve just installed Gnome 3.6 (some packages might still be 3.5.9x) on my laptop by upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 beta2 together with the Gnome 3 PPA for a few missing things like the updated Nautilus.
I’ve transformed the example from my blog post yesterday to a jQuery plugin and pushed it GitHub. This removed some of the previous nessesary manuel added css. Also this opens up for adding different initialization options in the future.

Today I took the plunge into something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time: help developing Open Source Software. I’ve started off small :) I’ve been messing around with gnome-shell and looking into how extensions work. What better way to start than scratching and itch?

I have a lot of digital photos which I would be very sad to loose. I was recommended Amazon S3 as a cheap storage solution and even though it is possible to use https to transfer your data to S3 in a secure way the data itself isn’t encryptet within Amazon. I’m looking for a solution where my photos of my son in the bathtub are secured from all prying eyes including the Amazon tech staff.
At work we are currently in the process of creating a general data hub which is easily expendable and configurable. It’s already in use exchanging EDI messages (EDIFACT) for a supplier on the danish electricity market.
