QT is going LGPL

Holy crap batman!!!

I saw on slashdot today that Nokia is going to be releaseing QT under the LGPL license starting with version 4.5 (site). Back in the day, when I was toying with leaving the web industry and going more into traditional software developement, QT caught my eye. The thing that stopped me from diving into QT at that time, was the $5000 license fee for anything non open source.

Now that it is being released as LGPL only, there are no more entry fees. Guess I will be looking at QT again :)

New Site Complete

Greetings to all 5 of my subscribers!!

Last night I completed the last portions of my new business site http://www.activebinary.com. If you notice any posts missing from this blog, you will find them over at the other blog. I will be adding some redirects very soon so I don't loose any Google traffic.

What I really want to do is keep the tutorial/technical stuff over on my business blog, and leave this space for more personal type posts.

Please give me some feedback on the new site if you have time.

Later!

Reorganization

Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know that I am reorganizing my blogging efforts. I am in processes of setting up my business site with a blog. As such, most of the more "professional" posts got moved there (along with your comments).

In the future, this space will be used for rants and opinions, as well as more personal posts about my life etc. If you want to follow more of my technical posts, you can subscribe to my other feed (coming soon).
