Blog moved, Once again...

Ok it happened again; I started blogging on Blogger, then created my own blogging engine using FubuMVC and moved to the Fohjin domain. Then I got asked to join Elegant Code which I was very flattered by and accepted right away. But now I feel that this is maybe not the right place for me to blog after all.

So I setup a new blog under http://Cre8iveThought.com/blog/index and will be blogging there from now on. And this is where I will stay :)

Toto & Heroku

So did you create a new blogging engine, well no, I grabbed Toto and it is running on Heroku and that was done in 5 minutes, copying most of the previous content took a little bit longer tho. Now my blog posts are on GitHub and they are pushed to Heroku when-ever I have a new post (or change an existing one). The comments are now managed by Disqus and the code examples are provided by GitHubs Gists. And finally the layout was mostly copied from Rob Conery’s blog as I think this is extremely well readable.

I only added by not adding, so I feel my blog is now super clean. There will be some small features added later I am sure, but content is what it is about. Please let me know what you think of the new style?

My apologies to all of you who are still following my FeedBurner feed for all the duplicates, and for all of you on ElegantCode not following my personal feed here is the link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/fohjin, if you want to then please do.

And finally, I want to stress that me leaving ElegantCode has nothing to do with ElegantCode, but more about me wanting to take my own steps.
