This post heralds a new direction for this blog. Firstly you will notice the new theme. I felt that the old one was well past its used by date and rather than displaying my less than stellar web design skills I have opted for the free Arclite theme which looks so much better than something I could have designed myself. I may end up tweaking the look a little but ths is genearally how the site will look.

Secondly the tone of this blog is going to become a lot more technical. Since my marriage last year I have not needed to express myself online nearly as much as I now talk to my wife :) . That being so I have been writing much much less on religion and politics. At the same time I have felt the need to write more technically to share my journey through the world of Java and web development. I am also working on starting an open source project which I will need to blog about to generate support. All of this means that I will be writing predominantly technical posts here from now on.

If you’ve been reading here for a while and the new format doesn’t suit you, thanks for the support and I hope you understand. If you have any comments or discussion comments are open below or I can be reached on FriendFeed.
