About this blog

This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.

Working on a new site (58)
As a first step in doing something else with skallagrigg.net, I’m building a new business-site, where I can present myself in context of work. One of the things I’m aiming for is having the site in both Dutch and English. My business-site has been only in Dutch so far, but since I frequently travel around Europe, I’d like people with no knowledge of Dutch to know as well what it is that I do for a living.
Luckily, Stephanie Booth blogged a little while ago about the plugin WPML, to make Wordpress multilingual, and today I tested it. The plugin works like a charm. However, the theme I chose for my new site isn’t supplied with multilingual code and therefore I learnt how to localize the text in a theme today.
