A couple of questions pop-up right away I'm sure. So let's get those out of the way right now! ## English?!? Is this a joke? Nope, I have decided to blog in English for a couple of reasons. - It will be easier for me to write articles. - I get to share my posts with a couple of non-Dutch friends. ## Why did you start over **again**? Yeah, I know.... This is like the fourth time I start over isn't it? Well let me give you some reasons for switching: - Control. I now have full control over how the page looks and performs. - No more Wordpress!!! Many of you will know I have a love/hate relationship with Wordpress. But in the end, the hate won over the love. I am just fed up with the entire system and its problems. - Because I wanted to convert to English. And why not convert platform at the same time? ## So what can we expect? I'll be doing a lot more technical blogs. (up next: raspberry pi cluster) I also plan on doing some code examples and general rambling. So pretty much the same as any other blog.
