The Blog Virus
Just like how Jeroen inspired me writing my own new year's resolution, Eric inspired me to write this post. Actually I don't have anything special to talk about, but this blogging-virus is just so contagious 
. I quite enjoy reading the blogs of my friends. Maybe it's because we all are living miles away and blogging gives us an other way of communication.
Ok, I know there is such a thing like MSN or Yahoo Messenger, but communication on those platforms is different. You are usually at work, and don't really have time to chat. Now there is also such a thing like email, but the advantage of blogging is that you can share some of your thoughts, and your friends can choose for themselves if they want to read it and comment on it. Where as with email you might annoy someone with your silly stories, and he/she might feel obligated to reply the email.
Now I know the guys have found Jaiku as a platform for small talk. But I really hope we will continue this trend of blogging, and hopefully Alfred will come with his own system (like me 
) and not use wordpress like the others.

Here is an Idea... I actually have been playing with this for some time now but after reading your blog post I think it is time we should implement this. You should aggregate Eric's, Alfred's and my blog posts in your own blog. I want to do the same with Alfred's, Eric's and yours and maybe Eric and Alfred will want to do the same. So we all have more updates on our blogs and it might inspire us to write/blog more.

Alfred already has a blogging system. Check alfredwesterveld.com. This is a blogger system so not as flexible as your own system. Btw Sam do you know wordpress? I always liked using my own CI apps but wordpress wins hands downs on the feature set and ease of maintenance. But again maybe we could also github our own CI system.

I know about wordpress. I just like having my own system. Last night I also was thinking about using your RSS feeds and integrate it on my own blog. And maybe I should also implement Gravatar on my website.

I included scripts for post syndication on my blog now so when you write something it should automatically show up on my blog as well :D
