Hail to the Wordpress community. Look at all those crazy features. This article is linked to my home location. Check out the map link. I love the blog software.

I loved the simplephpblog and I will continue to use it on other pages for sure. The main feature I like is that it can run without any database behind, just simple filesystem storage is enough.

But because I like it fancy (not so much the layout, mostly when it comes to features) I decided to switch the blog system for my private blog (the webpage you are reading this very moment). Wordpress is a very nice solution (PHP/MySQL). The themes are plain and even it has tons of features (and available plugins and extensions) the user interface (especially the frontend) is still very plain and easy to use. It’s character reminds me a bit of mozilla firefox. Besides the heavy features I really like the UTF-8 encoding which allows me to do this: 日本語�?��?��?��??。

The bad news is that I am just too lazy to migrate the old comments to the new system.

Besides the blog switch no other important news. Most of the time (sparetime) I am working on akihabara news or japaninfo.at. Oh… that reminds me of something… time to catch up and write down the latest japanese movies I have seen.

More Japan on the way…

Today http://www.japaninfo.at launched successfully. Not too much content present at the moment but it should be increasing soon. Probably there is already something interesting for you.

Lately the German/Japanese subpart takes shape more and more. Now all the ingredients are picked and the starters are already mixed together. Check the page from time to time to get surprised by the upcoming main course.
