Blog

Welcome to my blog. I'm trying to post things whenever I get inspired to write something. Sometimes it's more often, and sometimes not so much. The subject can vary quite a lot, but it tends to be mostly about tech.

I don't have any commenting enabled at the moment, because no one really comments anything except spammers, but if you have any thoughts on anything, feel free to email me at niklas@uplink.fi.

As part of my new portfolio site, I'm moving my blog to a new home. It's probably a bit more consistent to only have one personal site. I'm going to try to fit most stuff about my goings on onto the site.

I'm staying on WordPress, but this time I made a theme. The theme will start out pretty minim...

About the Blog

Now that I have started writing a bit more on my blog I decided to try something other than blogger. I looked around a bit what options there where. I didn't want to do something too strange, so I decided to go with WordPress. I had some experience with WordPress as a CMS, for which purpose it is re...
