Starting signal

Just started blogging. Well, sort of. In fact, I’m already blogging for two month by now,  but restricted to the intranet in our company Cycos.

My first contact with weblogs was back in March this year. I’ve stumbled over the blog of Don Box. That was my starting point for my journey across the fascinating world of blogs. I don’t now which aggregator I used first, but for several month I’m using SharpReader. This app has this nice feature called threading. It encourages you to follow the URLs linked in a RSS post.

The idea to start my own blog conceived some time ago. Not that I’ve much to tell you ;-) It’s more the technical point of view. In May I’ve installed BlogX at work and studied the sources. But one feature I’m missing is the support for multiple user (bloggers, is that), because I plan to establish a blog culture in our development department. But that’s another story.

Anyway, I’ve been waiting for several weeks for the sources of .Text, which drives [email protected]. Finally, Scott Watermasysk released it three weeks ago.

Now I have a fresh installation of .Text at home. Since I’m connected via T-DSL, I get a dynamic IP only. Therefore, I’ve created an account at dyndns.org. Don’t wonder, if this page is not available every now and then ;-).

I think it’s enough for my very first posting. Oh, one last point: I’m German, so please excuse my English…
