The OSSFI log

Vandaag heb ik me aangemeld voor Bookcrossing dankzij een tip van mijn geliefde zuster. Bookcrossing is het fenomeen dat je een boek ergens achter laat, dit meld op de bookcrossing site en dan wacht otdat iemand het boek oppikt en daar een vermelding van maakt op de bookcrossing site.

Zo kun je de reisweg van een boek volgen.

Ik heb vandaag maar weer eens wat onderhoud aan de weblog gedaan en de WordPress ge-upgrade naar versie 2.0.5

I am trying out several new layouts for the this weblog. I want to find something that I think should be comfortable and appropriate for this site. When I find a good basis I want to tweak it to make it my own.

The CD is finished. I have done 60 odd prints of the CD, the boxes etc. It looks very good and I already have got some positive feedback on it. Tomorrow the CD-ROM it will be distributed at the newyears hike of the WATT. In total I will need to produce 200 copies. The most work is still copy-ing the CD. This takes some 10 minutes, using Nero, on my Windows XP machine and some 7 minutes on my Ubuntu linix driven laptop.

It was fun to do though. I could do with more of these assignments.

Today I created a new signature to reflect my new company. I also pitched my company for webdesign and hosting for the big spinning event next year in Nijkerk. I have a meeting again soon. This could be a good start.

Today is the first day of my new company. The company is called OSSFI. This is an abbreviation for Open Source Solutions For Internet. The focus of this company is to create internet solutions for small and medium enterprises (SME) using only open source software.

At the moment the amount of good quality open source software is amazing. It doesn’t matter whether you want a simple program to facilitate writing webpages or a complete content management system for your website. e-Commerce? It’s all there. This blog software that I use for instance, WordPress, is easily a very compact and versatile piece of software. And it is free!

So there must a lot of people running SME that want to have a presence on the internet for marketing purposes or want to sell their products online. OSSFI wil manage it for them.

Just remember the name: OSSFI –> Open Source Solutions For Internet.
