My brand new official site is now up, some of you were ‘dying’ to see it. It has been relaunched with a new design, more information and a new mailing-list that was missing before.

I hope I did it well, but I am not sure I will do it again any time soon. Maybe for the second anniversary of this blog ^_^ Last year the website of The…⇒ READ MORE
