Happy Birthday Lixtetrax

Looks like the idea to separate the blogs payed off! I have the other usual place for personal stuff and this one for thins a bit more techie (says on the tin).

So, lixtetrax is not going away anytine soon. At first I was a bit disappointed with the lack of traffic and comments but slowly, persistence paid off.

What is the aim of this blog? Is it to make a book out of it? Is it to pimp my trade? Is it going to be just an RSS aggregator with a couple of lines here and there?
