I decided to experiment with some of the new elements in HTML 5 and built my blog theme from scratch (with the help of the Carrington framework though). I’m now rolling article, section, header, footer and other stuff. Because IE needs a Javascript hack to enable support for these elements, I wouldn’t consider doing this in any client work, but hey, this is MY blog! (more…)

The iStat App from Bjango is one of the many cool reasons for having an iPhone. In addition to giving system stats of the device itself (not so interesting) it enables easy monitoring of remote servers. There’s a free server app for those with a Mac server they want to monitor, but most interestingly they have a command-line app for Linux and Solaris.

So I shortened my blog address, and rolled in a new look. The theme I’m using is a modified Carrington Text. The headings are set in FF Nuvo SC Web Pro using Typekit. Tell me how you like it.

EDIT: As you can probably see – I gave up on typekit while redoing my site in HTML5, since the overall style changed anyway.
