Many months since my last post. A lot has happened, but I hadn´t the time to put it all here. In other news, I´ve changed my hosting provider. After some problems transferring the domain name and pointing the DNS servers properly, I´m finally back online. It´s kind of annoying to see that I couldn’t migrate the old posts easily, because the database structure seems to be a little bit different from the version that I was using some months ago. So, I had to copy and paste them one by one to the new site. I hope not to have to do this anymore… It´s a good time to learn some php, though.

I’m the proud owner of an Apple iBook notebook. I’m quite happy with it, but at the same time I’m tempted to change it for one of the new breed of Powerbooks, since they have reduced their price in a very interesting way. This can sound a little dumb, but I need more power for my applications (Reason, Photoshop, etc.) and I don’t want to spend US$ 2500 in a G5 dual processor computer (It could be really nice, but money is always an issue). My main problem? I live in a Spanish speaking country and my iBook has an English keyboard layout. I’m going to offer it through eBay to see what happens. The worst case scenario would be to have two laptops, and using only one… I’m confident that someone will help me out.

I used to believe that this web blogging software was difficult to manage, but happily, I was wrong. I’m starting to understand how this thing works. It is not difficult at all. My first modification attempts were some kind of successful. I think that I must learn some PHP (only the basics) to get better results. The best thing? I can post my articles with ease. Customization is a nice thing, but it is not the most important for the moment.
