Right now my songs are available in variable bitrate MP3 format only. Lately I’ve been contemplating adding Ogg Vorbis and maybe even FLAC (lossless). Is this something you would like to see? Is there anyone out there reading this? Hello? :)

Just a quick note to explain the recent lack of updates: My son was born on the 19th of April and is currently consuming most of my time – day and night! :)

Greetings people! After testing out WordPress for a couple of weeks, I today decided to release my new site. As I mentioned, it’s powered by WordPress among other things. The current theme is designed by me with some CSS borrowed from the WordPress 1.5 default theme. I’ve also written some custom template code for the My music page.

Hi folks! Been thinking about redesigning my site (dempa.init5.net) from the ground up for some time now. Writing a new framework (utilising HTML::Mason of course) would be kinda fun. On the other hand, it’s quite a lot of work and I really don’t have the time right now. Anyway, was browsing through some blogs’n stuff the other day and I stumbled upon WordPress 1.5. Haven’t given these open source blogging solutions much thought before. Why not? Well, you know, I’m a coder… I like to “roll my own”.

“Luckily” for me, I get to do some coding (and design) even if I switch to using WordPress for my personal site. So far I’ve whipped up my own theme and made a small stub for a WP Template that will be used to showcase my songs (“My music” in the menu on the right). My former site had lots of logging, stats and stuff, but I think I’ll let that go now. I mean, it’s cool to know that people download my music, but not how many per day and so on.

Time will tell if this is the road I want to take…
