Some things that got my attention lately:
- Browser: I’m still using Chrome
Recently I updated my Firefox installation, but after 2 minutes I returned to Chrome – it just feels better - Blog: I set up my own domain and installed Wordpress for my blog
Despite the fact that I sold my soul to Google (I use nearly every Google Product)
- Software:
- Prince2 – the project management methodology seems to gain some momentum here in Germany
- Junior staff: read some articles and discussed with colleagues how to deal with the technology background of young people (they are used to work with Web 2.0 tools, …)
- Business Continuity Management – contemporary issue in my current project

Congrats for this wordpress installation and happy blogging!
(But pssst – there’s a typo in the href to your own domain –> .coom)
question: what made you move to your own domain? the reason why i am asking: I just did the exact opposite with my blog because i didn’t want to have to maintain the software anymore.
Axel: thank you
but where is the typo – I cannot find it
–
Update: found it – fixed it – thanks again
Holger:
I long considered to move to my own domain. Main reasons:
- play a little bit with popular software
- establish a “stable address” for me (abenker.com)
- I can always go back to hosted platforms (Blogger, Wordpress…) and use my domain to redirect
- agree on the playing around. wordpress.com is rather restrictive with plugins etc.
- disagree on stable adress: you can forward the adress blog.abenker.com to a hosted wp installation.
- agree on the going back if you make sure you don’t a) have a lot of images within your posts, b) don’t depend on plugins that the standard hosted systems don’t support. Especially the images are a royal pain in the … imagine 200 blog posts with aroudn 500 images uploaded. no way (at least i haven’t found one) to migrate that from a self-run installation to a hosted service.
if there is one though … let me know!
with stable address I meant abenker.com -> I don’t have an own address in the net (only twitter.com/benkman, googlemail-address, …) but not my own name
but I already sold my soul to Google and I hope they will live longer than me, so my Google-Addresses should be stable…

Good work! Thank you!
I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my site?
Of course, I will add backlink?
