Welcome

As you can see I launched my new homepage bytestrøm.eu today. There are still some rough edges, but I think I will sort them out over time. Consider bytestrøm.eu as beta ;-).

I plan to blog about

  • iPhone development (webapps with phonegap and soon native apps)
  • the great new platform for RIAs: Appcelerator Titanium
  • server side JavaScript with v8cgi
  • general experiments with emerging web technology (HTML 5)
  • new user interface design ideas and concepts

Other Content

  • Apps → my iPhone apps on the AppStore and other apps (most likely based on the cross platform Titanium framework)
  • Portfolio → web and other projects I did in the past
  • Experiments → interesting mini-projects involving new technology
  • About me → some information about me and how to contact me

Why "bytestrøm"

You may ask why I called my homepage “bytestrøm”. Well it's all about bits any bytes, but mostly because it sounds cool. The “ø” is pronounced like a german “ö” or have a look here: Wiktionary entry

I chose “bytestrom.eu” as the domain name because umlaut domains are still rare and: Who knows where the “ø” is on your keyboard? Mac users might find it, but if you are running windows be to use alt plus four digits…

Why DokuWiki?

When I started planning my new homepage I considered using a full scale cms like joomla or a blog software like wordpress. My experience with joomla told me, that it might be overkill and to bloated for my homepage. wordpress is lighter, but than I remembered DokuWiki, which I used in some projects during my studies. I like wikis and so I decided to build my homepage on basis of DokuWiki. Thanks to some great plugins DokuWiki acts as a blog and cms. I still have to improve some aspects, but this will happen over time.

Language

As you can read this website is completely in English. I'm by far not a native speaker and so some phrases may sound strange. I decided to write in English, because I think most of the people who are interested in the topics I plan to write about understand English.
