It's now some time ago since I was traveling in south east asia, but I promised to write an english language blog about the trip. I posted some stories and pictures today, if you want more details and pictures, please comment!

My new blog

Posted Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:24:58 GMT Technology

Initially I just wanted to have a small blog for my travel pictures. But as most blog software I tried is a pain in the ass, I wrote my own blog software. It is based on NodeJS, CouchDB and some node libraries. The Interface is made with Twitter bootstrap and some CSS magic.

My blog engine has two big advantages over Wordpress: Speed and simplicity. There's 5 different kind of "segments" which can be used to form a blog post: Text, html, images, thumbnails (images in a grid) and http links.

Furthermore all images are always visible in a nice lightbox and it is possible to attach binary files to a blog post.

All data related to a blog post are stored in a single CouchDB document. This leads to easy data management and very fast response times.

When I come up with a good name for my little blog engine I will make it available as open source project on Github.

Ha Long Bay

There's not much to say about Ha Long Bay, it's a nice place with beautiful nature and way to much tourists. I didn't enjoy it as much as most of my fellow travelers, but I learned that I made some good decisions. Couchsurfing and Motorbiking with my friends was definitely one of the best traveling experiences I had so far, organized travel tours are nothing in comparison.
