Today I uploaded a new theme to this blog. This is the first time I have ever changed the look and the feel of this blog since its launch two years ago. It makes me happy. Change is as good as a holiday. I have been working on the design the in the last day and a half. Nothing special. You might not even say it’s better than the last design however I can say that this is 100% my blog now. No one else on the Internet has a design like this. It was a bit sad going to other blogs and seeing the exact same design. Not any more. A pat on the back to wordpress as well. Despite the fact that it’s written in PHP it’s actually very easy to theme. Well done guys an excellent blogging platform.
There are some problems. The HTML does not validate completely however this is due to the plug-ins I am using. I noticed that all of the code causing breaking HTML validation is outputted by the various plug-ins I have installed. No bother the page seems to render okay. That said I have not tested in Internet Explorer yet. I’m not sure about the links on the left hand side. The event model is not working correctly sometimes the links jut up and down. I might disable the JavaScript if it gets really annoying.
I have also added my latest twitter status to the page. I love twitter and use it constantly. It will be good to have my status there. At least something on this blog will get regularly updated 
. My use of twitter has increased greatly over the last few months and I have noticed a distinct lack of any decent twitter client for Windows. That’s why very shortly I will be posting my own twitter client that quite frankly leaves all of the other twitter clients I have used on Windows in its wake. It doesn’t say much about existing social applications on Windows as it only took me two or three days to write.
With the new theme for my blog and a completed twitter client I can now focus on my dissertation. I will not have much time to post on this blog. I hopefully however will put my dissertation online and make it available for download. As many of the details are not finalised I will not go into them yet. I can tell you I plan to build a web server that encapsulates an artificial intelligence algorithm to serve out artificial intelligence as a normal web server would serve documents. Hopefully that wets your appetite enough to come back to this space for updates in the future.
