I also took the opportunity to do a redesign. It’s sort of an evolution of the previous design, as I kept the general layout and a number of elements. I dropped the fancy fixed header, which caused a few (minor) nuisances. I hope you like the new minty color!

In other news, I have now made a definite decision to go to China. As preparation I plan to do a government accredited certification course in August and then start teaching English from September. Of course I’m pretty excited about these prospects, as it means I’m opening a new, exciting chapter in my life. It also means I will have less time to spend on Gentoo development. But hopefully there will be people to pick up where I leave off.

Something went wrong during that procedure and I can no longer access the comments in the admin back-end. Sorry for all you commenters, but I cannot “approve” your latest comments.

I don’t really feel like delving deeper into the problem, or downgrading and staying on an old version. Instead I am thinking of migrating back to WordPress, as in certain ways it is easier. That is, from a blogger’s, not a coder’s, point of view. So please a bit of patience when I migrate again (story of my life…).

If things look out of whack, try reloading the page (with F5 or Ctrl-R for example).
