Change of blogging engine
After a few years of sporadic blogging I analyzed the way I use a blog. I finally came to the conclusion that a full featured blogging engine like Wordpress is way too much for me.
Especially security concerns made me finally switch to Blazeblogger. It's all made of scripts that generate static content. Hard to find a more secure solution in my opinion. Only drawback is that there are no comments possible. I think I will think of an email solution to handle this.
Speaking of comments: so far I migrated all old posts to Blazeblogger. Still, comments have not been migrated yet and pictures still link to the old URL.
As long as this s current status the old website is still available.
UPDATE (2009-11-09):
Pictures are migrated but no comments so far. Anyway, I will disable the old site now and migrate the comments one day ;-)
Minimize Thunderbird to System Tray on Linux
I still wonder why such a functionality is not implemented in every mail app (Outlook does it after all). So since I had to search twice and always had a hard time finding this add-on for… well, Firefox I thought I write a short article that may help others looking for the same information.
So you are looking for a solution to minimize Thunderbird to your systray on a Linux box, right? Well, search no further go here:
So forget about AllTray, Traybiff, or other mail notifiers. They all suck.
Btw I tested this on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 where you might want to select the option “Close button minimizes to tray” (thats the way I like it).

About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
