hello world

Upgraded my wordpress, was long due.

I have noticed a decline in my (not that active) blogging lately - very likely due to the jaiku.com, facebook and flickr etc social web overload altogether. Also, like some others have also suggested, it seems “microblogging” (jaiku etc) really reduce the amount of “proper” blogging, as the daily life and its little quirks and delights get written in such sites already. There are even less meaningful things to write to ones blog, I guess.

Yet, Jaiku, for example, is nothing more than a “planet” and some IRC-likeness thrown in. But it encourages you to write short messages instead of long posts. And it pulls in the comments to a feed. Hmm. That would be an interesting addition to Planet btw - if it could aggregate blog posts and their comments into one “flow”..? Might be interesting, or insane. Not sure which :-)

However, let’s see. I am starting to be just way overwhelmed with all this “web2.0″ crack anyway, maybe things settle down eventually. Interesting observation nevertheless.

    It seems your wallpapers have gone missing. Perhaps they were forgotten in the update?

    I hope you can put them back… my desktop doesn’t feel the same without Bluespace behind it…. that’s been my favourite wall since I found it many years back. On my parent’s Pentium-133mhz.

    Ahh, the good old days…

    Hi Tuomas!

    I want to get in touch with you to see if you (and more guys) can come to Bossa this year! How’s your schedule ? =) I really would like to create a small track of UI / UX / Usability for the conference!

    Hi Tuomas,

    I’d like to get in touch with you too, but can’t find an email address (sorry if it’s somewhere obvious!).

    I’ve used some of your artwork in a recent project released under the GNU GPL v3.

    Although the artwork in question (cribbed from gnomine) is distributed under the GPL v2, I think it’d be polite to make sure you approve.

    You can see a screenshot here:

    Please email me at trmusson@ihug.co.nz if this is not okay.

    Thanks :^)
