Finally: after lots of dithering about I launch my own blog.
Why?
To write down my ideas & discuss them with fellow interwebbers, make some of my code publicly available for others to use & maybe get more discipline into my thoughts by researching them a bit before I open my mouth.
Hopefully I will also be able to help some other developers, just as numerous blogs have helped me out over the past years.
Who am I?
My name is Gilles Ruppert, aka elduderino78 (ever seen The Big Lebowski?). I am a Front-end developer for BBC Worldwide and work on their consumer websites which include:
I am focusing on web standards: POSH HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility & usability. I’m also doing a little bit of PHP & CakePHP development whenever time allows.
My aim is to become an accessible JavaScript Ninja & for that I’m devouring pretty much any decent JavaScript book that comes out.
I have probably chosen the worst possible time to start blogging as I will become a dad in about 3 months, but maybe I can keep posting whilst holding the little one in the middle of the night 
Cheers,
Gilles
Looking forward to the updates, Gilles. Best of luck with the JS ninja training…I hope that your quest is successful!
Good luck with the blog and the upcoming Dad-to-be events
This is also the cleanest of Wordpress blog layouts I’ve seen. Good job.
Thanks!
@Stuart: working hard on it! Closer to enlightenment thanks to Stuart Langridge
@Lacho: Kubrick with a custom header: very little work. I might bug you with WP questions since you are the absolute expert on all things WP!
Glad to see you got the blog up and running and look forward to reading your stuff!
consider this blog in my reader! although you must promise not to get *too* geeky…
ps i didn’t know you were going to be a dad – congratulations!
@henny: thanks for the interest! I hope it will be useful!
@Robin: I really can’t promise that
You know how I am… 
Thanks! Getting quite excited about it now!
Gilles, welcome to the blogosphere. I will enjoy reading your ramblings.
- on a side note, I know from first-hand expierence that a perfect way to let a small baby sleep is in a sling while coding with loud rock music at 4 in the morning.
@Wilfred: thanks! I got ideas for quite a few more microposts & I think about doing a longer series about intermediate JavaScript, compiling all the information about OO patterns I can find with their pros & cons. I got already quite a few good bits, but I need to do some more experimenting & put it into words with decent examples.
As soon as the baby is there, I will try your method, although I might upset the mother
It is very good thinking to tell the abilities and knowledge to others might be that learn from it and think if this person can do all these things why i can’t do that so sharing to others is very genuine point
