If you are reading this, you probably kept my old feed in your RSS reader. Using Google Webmaster Tools, I got reminded that people actually subscribed to that. Right now, you lucky (ha!) few are the only ones reading my blog, the greater Internet is being deprived of the privilege because Google is not indexing it. For example search "john kleijn closures", you'll get Eli White's blog because Serendipity created a trackback for it, instead of my own post about closures. Search simply "John Kleijn" and you'll get my company website, some other links such as my PHPFreaks.com profile, and also some other guy called John Kleijn twice my age (okay, 1.5 times -- I'm getting old).

I tried my hand at poetry. It's deep, philosophical, it is the best poetry ever. Actually it is probably as good as my skills on the guitar.

That's right, I decided to join Jimmy Hendrix and.. Some other guys who were pretty good? As soon as I can play anything with more than an E and A minor, maybe I can play some Staind or System of a Down at your wedding (or funeral, same game). But seriously, I'll record something sometime so the Internet can have a little fun at my expense.

(The Stratocaster was "borrowed" from http://technabob.com/ btw).

Hello World,

After I stopped blogging at johnkleijn.nl about a year ago, I recently decided I wanted to start again. While johnkleijn.nl was purely about Web Development, this time I want to get other thoughts off my mind as well. I'm also going to try to write a little more often than once a month, it's not like I don't have a ton of incredibly interesting things to say, even if no one really cares about half of it.

When I write something that makes you want to hire me for PHP or JS development, go over to my company website. But this is also a personal blog, with opinions, bad and poor humor and stuff. When I write something that makes you want to pull my head through your monitor by my (fairly large) ears, troll about it in the comments.

I'll import some of the old posts, not sure if it's worth the trouble. If you visited my old blog and want a specific old post back, comment below.

I may also become active on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, who knows. Before long, you could find yourself reading more John Kleijn than you can stomach.

John Kleijn.

I finally received all the parts for my new PC, and got it mostly running. I still want to make an OpenSuSE multiboot but that can wait for a little while.

I actually received the last parts last Wednesday, but my employer took my colleagues and me on a long weekend to Prague (thanks Coen, I had a great time), so I didn't have any time to assemble my new computer, let alone post anything on my blog.

Today isn't much different I'm afraid; it's Christmas and I'm going to my parents for diner.

But, you can expect more frequent posting in the coming days! One of the moderators over at phpfreaks.com asked if I could blog a little about an idea I had a while ago: running an entire PHP application as a daemon. Next I'll post about TDD and using SimpleTest with MockObjects, so you have that to look forward too.

Oh, and merry Christmas to any readers, naturally
