I treated myself with a pack of awesome personal cards. Designed using Inkscape and open source fonts from the openfontlibrary.org printed at the cool moo.com on green, biodegradable recycled paper.

Note the QR vcard with all my details encoded! Rocking!

I really like the moo.com service. I have ordered stickers, minicards and now business cards. More expensive than the others but the service deserves every cent. Here is a 15% discount code if you want to order your business cards from moo.com. Use G2MSCG at the checkout.

It's almost 2 years I'm brewing my own beer. Fed up with the tasteless beer in Greece, I started my own small brewery on April 2008.

After a few (un)successful brews, now it's time to announce my home brewing log. Another blog to collect brewing recipes, hints 'n' tips and of course my brewing log. Besides the cool beer tasting stuff, information about the special arduino based hardware used to create these awesome graphs will be also hosted there.

Happy brewing everyone!

I was using twitterfeed.com to post my blog posts on identi.ca and twitter, but since the service behaved sometimes strangely re-posting old posts and spamming my followers (maybe it was my rss fault anyway) I decided to find a proper wordpress plugin to do the job. Twitterupdater is a simple, nice plugin with clean source code but uses twitter service and not the FLOSS and better identi.ca. Fortunatelly identi.ca is API compaliant with twitter so here is a quick tip on how to change the service twitterupdater uses.

1. Download from twitterupdater.com
2. Open twitter_updater.php with your favorite text editor, or with wordpress edit plugin feature
3. Change line 64 from $host = 'twitter.com'; to $host = 'identi.ca';
4. Change line 96 from $twitterURI = "/statuses/update.xml?source=ingoalstwitterupdate"; to $twitterURI = "/api/statuses/update.xml?source=ingoalstwitterupdate";
5. Configure the plugin as usual
6. Enjoy!

Note that this blog post is a test to check if this is going to work

Update: and yes it works!

Extra Tip: You can find all the '@' symbols in twitter_updater.php file and add an extra space after them so identi.ca parses the shorten url as link.

Edit: Testing if the twitterupdater plugin still works with wordpress 2.9.2
