Reboot

It was long overdue – I’ve cleaned out all of the old Madonna Remix Project stuff and the copyleft info. Sorry to anyone who’s come looking for it – if you’re really interested leave me a comment and I might do something about archiving some backups. I just needed to clear out this space and think about where I’m going with it all.

I’m still firmly Free Software/Creative Commons, and hurrah for ‘Open Source’ (aka GPL 2.0′d) MoveableType. I’ve tried out a number of blog/web2.0/CMS type applications and would have to say this and Squiz’s MySource Matrix probably take the cake for the friendliest interfaces so far.

Matrix wins hands down for me as far as seriously flexible content presentation & ease of use; I’ve also spent a fair bit of time of late working with Microsoft’s MOSS (Sharepoint 2007) which I’d describe as just plain weird in that Microsoft way we all love to hate, but a useful exercise in XML/XSLT. I’m not overly fond of proprietary software but clients find it easy to use and its popularity is growing, so for anyone working with CMS’s in an Office environment it tends to be a necessary evil.
