You changed the world, made it a better place and inspired others to do the same. R.I.P.

Back in 1999, I purchased my very first domain. It was called highonpixels.dk , and acted as my personal playground at the time. During the first couple of years, I focused a lot on webdesign and usability, and the website was my first adventures into creating webpages. Alot has happened since then, I’ve matured, gotten a couple of different jobs, and over the years my website faded into the background.

I rarely had the time to update the site, my friends started poking me for more content and new layouts etc., but in the end I just didn’t have the drive for updating a website anymore. Working as a webdeveloper on a fulltime-basis for clients will do that to you, trust me ;)

So what changed ? Well, during the last year or so, I’ve regained a lot of the enthusiasm regarding the web, and the technologies surrounding it. Another thing that has happened, is that I just recently acquired this domain. For the last couple of years it’s been occupied by another danish guy with the same name, and I’ve tried to capture it a couple of times without success. However, in December 2008, magic happened. The domain was released, and I put a couple of hosting-companies on the case of capturing it for me, which happened around Christmas (yay, best christmaspresent for myself ever!).

One of the things I’ve had a lot of advantages from online, has been technical guides. Everything from setting up virtualhosts on a Mac, over learning BASH-scripting to hacking my Xbox to allow it to be a multimedia-player. All of these experiences has helped me a lot, but sometimes I see myself googling for the same themes over and over again. And everytime I need a guide I have to find it again, and hope the site I’m looking for is still available. Initially I thought about running my own Wiki for the guides that I need, but I figure someone else could probably benefit from my mistakes and experiences.

So I’ve decided to launch a blog-like site with those exact subjects. The site will contain guides for most of everything I come into contact with. Expect guides involving Linux/Unix/Mac maintenance, Javascript, MySQL, PHP architecture and development patterns, as well as my personal thoughts, ideas and tips.

Anyway, welcome once more, I will try to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
