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.

Fresh lick of ‘paint’ for this space
A chore long overdue, upgrading Wordpress on this site, combined with an enduring cold turned out to be a good reason to redesign this site.
Today I came across Olle’s site and he uses the Thematic theme framework. I loved the simpleness. After upgrading I installed this theme and added my personal touch to it, resulting in what you see now.
The colorbar is a variation on the colours I used for my new business site: elminewijnia.eu. A while back I wrote about letting go of the name Skallagrigg for my company name and migrate my online business-face elsewhere. And so I did. The .eu-domain is now a mostly static, bilingual site where I describe my services, showcase some of my work and tell more about me. So if you’re still wondering what I do for a living, you know where to go.
This will remain my blog. Indefinitely
