Moving out after 11 years…

Posted on by

Well after 11 years (1996-2007) living at the same address by myself, I’ve finaly moved out… Earlier tonight I gave my last key set back to the landlord. It was with a tear in the eye that I drove off to my new accomodation. I’ve had some excellent times and will keep great memories from my appartment. The datacenter room (which took me a few days to empty, sort, purge and clean), the lounge with it’s huge beamer, where I watched so many films and TV series.

The Great 2006 IT Purge… 🙁

Most of my stuff has now been stored in a Maritime container for future use.

Storage

I’ve now moved in with Jackie in Versoix. We will be more cramped, but we hope to get something larger in 2/3 years when we will need the space. In the meantime we enjoy the beautifull view of the Lake Leman and the Mt Blanc in the farground.

Using offline tools to prepare my entries

Getting WordPress running on my web server was easy, now I’m looking and testing at using tools to more easely upload content to the blog. I looked up what kind of tools existed, and I’m now giving my first try. Being able to create offline content and later upload it might be interesting, as I’m not always connected to the Internet.

Well… that didn’t seem to work…

A new beginning…

Okay, this is my first test of using a blog. Yes, I haven’t used a blog until now, because… well I just didn’t take the time. Yet, I’ve been putting comments online on the Internet since 1991. It was first called the USENET, later I used a simple web site from 1995, and I moved to online rant’s (before the name weblog/blog was used) on this website. Now it’s time to embrace yet another change. Using a nice What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) style system to put my comments online.

So this is a new experience for me. In the past, I never gave my readers the opportunity to reply to my comments. So let’s get started and see where this can lead us.
