15 Years

It already has been 15 years since I registered this domain and first published this website. Through the years the website has undergone many changes. On the 5th and 10th anniversaries I wrote short articles explaining what had changed in the previous five years. So now it's time again for another update:

I switched my provider yet another time. The website and domain are now hosted by Manitu. They are great and the transfer was easy. I was always satisfied by my previous provider Variomedia though and I can still recommend them. For other things, which are not really related to this website, I just wanted more control over my hosting than their available products offered me.
The tools I used really haven't changed. I still edit this website with Nova, continue to use Sketch to design graphics like the header images and ImageOptim to optimise image file sizes.
I decided to switch from using the sans-serif font Helvetica to using the serif font Georgia, because it offers better readability and just fits better in my opinion.
I still use my own CMS, which only needed a few small improvements the last years.

Regardless of these changes, I remain very grateful for your continued support!

A great app to view content from a lot of different sources. It is very flexible and can be used for almost any source, because it is extensible trough so called connectors. So if some source is missing, you can just create a custom connector for it yourself.
