Migrating to WordPress

» ,

It is not an easy decision but I finally switch over to WordPress. For the last 3 years, I run my blog on a customized Drupal called Drupal 4 Bloggers. It has sentimental values for me since, well, I coded it.

But Drupal 4 Blogger is more like a personal project. It was great 3 years ago, with all the bells and whistle I need but compared to wordpress today, it is a farcry. I have no choice but to admit that wordpress is a much better platform.

Of course, I could stick to Drupal, take the latest version and try to customize it again. But being there done that, I think I will stick to the best tool of the time now.

Then I will fly to San Francisco on 16th Sept to attend Techcrunch20.

After Techcrunch20 ended on 18th, I intend to stay on in the Bay Area for a few more days to catch up with friends and hopefully making new friends. I should be back in Singapore by 23rd Sept.

This is the first time I am going to these sort of geek conferences as an “investor” (Thymos Capital). The feeling is kind of different.

If you happened to be around during those dates or you know someone I should meet, please drop me an email at james@seng.sg.
