Interesting developments over at Ma.gnolia:

Ma.gnolia is kicking off development of Ma.gnolia 2, or M2 for short. What does that mean? Well, for one, M2 is a ground-up rewrite of Ma.gnolia, re-creating features we love today, taking a second run at what didn’t worked as well as planned, on a distributed, service-based architecture designed to handle the large volumes of data we’ve seen. But even more significant, M2 will be an open source project that can be downloaded to remix and run as your own.
Yep. That’s right. In a few months, you will be able to download and install your very own Ma.gnolia!

I’ve started my four-month overseas trip. Flew to Frankfurt via Taipei with China Airlines. Took the opportunity to snap a few images at both airports.

With some time to kill while waiting for a transfer I ventured out to explore the airport and its stranded nomads. I came across a smoking lounge—resembling a trendy club with highly efficient air purifiers buzzing away.

Have been a tad busy with tight deadlines over the past weeks. Most of my time has been taken up by the creation of a few web applications for the Environmental Protection Agency (Queensland Government). While very interesting work, it doesn’t leave me much time to write (or much else for that matter).

So, to all people waiting for photos/my company/etc I’d like to say: I have not forgotten you, and will attend to you soon.

In the meantime I’ll leave you with a well written LA City Beat article: Heads Will Roll. If you enjoy a laugh it’s a worthy read.

Back soon…
