I decided to write some of my future articles in English and therefore I’m currently translating the pages of this website (but not the old articles – after all, I’ve got work to do :-) ). I’m doing this for two reasons:

First of all, I’ve grossly neglected this blog lately and I wanted to change that. So, if I am going to devote more time to it anyway, why not write in English to reach a broader, more international audience while I’m at it?

Secondly, my English got a bit rusty over time. And when I say “a bit”, I really mean that I’ve been sitting on this post forever using five different online dictionaries and Google to find the right phrases. Yes, it is that bad. ;-) But reading the original English version of “The Gun Seller”, a great, fun novel written by Hugh Laurie, whetted my appetite for this language and I thought my website would be a great playground to train and improve my active vocabulary.

Color or colour?

Since I am European, British English seems to be the natural choice for my blog but coming from a programming background, the word “colour” just looks misspelt to me. So I guess, I’ll stick to the seemingly established tradition among bloggers, whose first language isn’t English, to randomly mix British English and American English with a pinch of the mother-tongue’s Grammar. Feel free to correct my spelling and/or grammar wherever you feel necessary. ;-)

Leopard kommt zwar mit Apache 2.2.6 inklusive mod_proxy_ajp daher, aber wieder ohne mod_jk. mod_proxy_ajp dient zwar als Ersatz, wer aber trotzdem frei nach dem Motto “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” keine Lust/Zeit hat, seine Projekte alle umzukonfigurieren (und durchzutesten), wird weiterhin mit mod_jk arbeiten wollen.
