This Week is Going to be Busy

Over the next couple of months, I’m going to be very busy. This week in particular - at work, there is an urgent project which needs completing by this Friday end of play, and I have to give it my all.

elberry, der lustig ist, verschwindet jetzt, weil es ihm spass macht, sich einzugraben.
er steht mit einer schaufel. ich lasse ihn selbst schaufeln.

Getting Rid of Some Categories

I’ve been wanting to clear up the category-mess on my blog for a while now. With WordPress’ introduction of tags, the categories have become somewhat superfluous.
Here’s how you can convert categories into tags.
I think it may benefit some, for instance jetsam who has far too many categories imho. I used to have plenty more than [...]
