As most of you have probably noticed, the short outage tonight was caused by a switch from Blogger over to WordPress. From now on, this will be the default platform for this blog. Reasons for switching were numerous, but what finally convinced me to switch was the fact that blogger.com, the frontend that Blogger used, was blocked in China some time this year. Every time I wanted to blog I had to log in via VPN, and the pain of doing that just wasn’t worth it anymore.

The last few issues (missing pictures, empty blogroll etc.) will be sorted out tomorrow As for tonight, all I wish to do is to thank the great people who took the time and wrote up the tutorials needed for me to finally make the switch!
