Update your links: www.silent-penguin.com is the new home of my weblog.

Exporting: Currently trying to get my Radio posts exported so I can import them into MT.

Moving update: Ok, my new domain is active, MovableType is running and now I'm going to work on moving the posts over..

Rocking: Just upgraded my Powerbook from 256 to 640 Megs of memory. Now we're rocking.

Speeding up a Windows system: Over the years, my W2K laptop (700 Mhz) has become increasingly slower. It takes longer to start programs and the explorer takes forever to show the files on each drive. Everything seems to have slowed to a crawl. Short of reformatting the whole thing - what can I do? Are there tools available that will tell me why the performance has dropped and what may be the cause?

Looking for a logo: If you're good at quickly drawing up a logo that has something to do with penguins and could send me something pretty quickly then drop me an email. I'll then let you know what I'm after. Due credit given - of course.

New domain: The fog of my blogging move is starting to clear. I signed up with a new provider yesterday evening and already I find their support outstanding. I will point to them just as soon as everything else is set up (you never know). I will also be getting my own domain and using that as "home base". I have several domains already, but none of them fit. The new domain has something to do with penguins. More later.

Rebooting: An event I would liked to have gone to if I wasn't zipping of to everywhere else in the next few weeks. Follow what's happening here. Ben, Dan Gillmor and others are there.

Travel plans: It has become somewhat funky to announce travel plans via your weblog - so here you go: I'll be in Vienna, Austria next week from Wednesday evening until Friday. Doing a Cocoon training and also going the the Cocoon Stammtisch. After a week back home, I head off to Portland, Oregon for O'Reilly OSCON. On the Monday during OSCON I'll be heading down to the Valley for a day. Hooking up with Ovidiu hopefully for some sights and sounds. Then after a couple of days home it looks like I'll be heading to Bristol UK for a couple of days - but that is still tentative at the moment.

Weekend reading: How to find a man in Europe and leave him there. Read. In search of the perfect meeting. Read. (via Stefan)

Sam Ruby, Web services visionary: I think this is the first interview with Sam that I've read.
