It is hard to believe, but I got asked by a couple of people what happened to my blog. Well, here is the truth ...

I'm lazy!

Now you know it. But there is a little bit more to it then this, here is the longer answer...

I got fed up with the content publishing system (CityDesk) I was using for my blog. CityDesk is a good program for what it is designed (Content publishing), but it is not a blogging solution. Then I had the great idea to use a .NET solution to do the blogging, but before I could do that, I had to change my hosting side since my old host didn't support hosting of .NET. The transition to a new host proofed more difficult then I thought, mainly because my old host was just incompetent to get the domain transfer done.

Finally arriving at the new host I had problems using the site management software of the new provider. Beside being a rather unreliable host, the software had huge problems going through any proxy server, the complete session state was often just screwed up. Again a transition to a new provider (still painful slow, but by now I knew more about domain transfers then the hosts) - and finally I made it to the new host which as of now is working reasonable well. Honestly, this was a couple of month ago and I did not find the time (and was to lazy - I told you so in the beginning) to install the blogging software and get going.

Well, finally I couldn't take it anymore, I installed the latest version of DasBlog, avoided any site management tasks (UI etc.) and just got it going ...

Let's see where this is going to take us ...
