Hmm, something got in the way and it broke my 365. So this picture is two days late in posting but worse, one day late in shooting…
I’ll make up for it by posting two shots from the same day!
Lovely Lola getting a hairdo. The blotch of light hair is from our French Bulldog…

Okay, so I decided to use a new blogging engine. I’ve been using Wordpress all this time, but it seems rather heavy. Yes, it is easy and you can use a nice web based editor to edit your posts. But my posts don’t change that much, as in never. So why use a database to store these posts? I’m not using the internal commenting system either, turning to Disqus ages ago. Using static HTML files also makes everything a lot faster.
So, now I’m using the MultiMarkdown CMS from Fletcher Penney, using MultiMarkdown files as a basis for the blog posts (and other pages). Fletcher really made something nice. I’m no expert in Perl, but integrating the Disqus commenting system took me less then 15 minutes (I made some stupid mistakes at first…)!
Now I just have to find some way to import all my old posts, I sure don’t want to do these one by one. So that means digging into the Wordpress database…
This party is not over yet. I do have to get into the CSS to change the layout, so expect some changes in the look and feel.
I’ve been investigating in setting up a new website (well, I don’t have an actual website, so it’s new, yes, but there is no old one). Lately I’ve been trying out Markdown for writing lots of stuff, and while checking it out I stumbled upon MultiMarkdown-CMS from Fletcher Penney. So now I’m diving into MultiMarkdown, Git repositories and CSS. One success so far: I managed to integrate the Disqus commenting system. I’m hoping I can replace my Wordpress blog with this, since I think it’s growing out of control. More work has to be done however!

And the back of the Basilica of our Lady…
Did not take this today, but I have a lot of pictures taken during the last 76 days that are worth publishing. Hey, I’m busy with photography! And it’s MY 365!

The Basilica of our Lady in Maastricht. Took this one yesterday and did not want to let it go to waste.

City Hall of Maastricht. Unfortunately this guy on the right did not want to move…
An experiment today. I wanted to capture some stars, but failed miserably. Well, I did capture stars, but the resulting picture is certainly not as good as I hoped it would be. The only thing really identifiable is Jupiter and the Pleiades in the lower left. Knowing that you can find Aldebaran on the far left and Capella at the top of the image.
Lesson learned: nothing is as easy as it seems!
BTW: the “thumbnail” here is much better than the original sized picture.
Again the Gouvernement in Maastricht. Did not get a shot before from this side when it was lit up (5 minutes later they turned off the lights).
To my surprise the building on the left was lit up in red, yellow and green, the colors of the local Carnival, a three day “party” where everybody dresses up in the most rediculous costumes.
