This weekend an amazing film got released: The Hunt for Gollum, a side plot from the Lord of the Rings. Watch it for free online. This movie shows how the whole can be so much more than the sum of the parts, and that the Internet is an amazing enabler. Enjoy.

Finally I got to redesigning my web site. I was really unhappy with it: What I had the last few years was okay, with a hand-build Blogging System.

I know that I'll need such a study again one day. Here's an article on selecting an open-source CMS and here the Slashdot discussion that has a number of good links, too.

Which Blog System?

For several years I've been running my own Blog software - but as I wanted to have more and more features, I realized that adding these features wasn't justified any more, so I shopped around for other solutions. The winner is Serendipity.
