Updated blog, domains and started some projects

I wanted to do an overall revamp of my online presence for a long time. What I’ve done:

  • Updated WordPress to latest version and changed theme to a heavily modified version of Chrome Theme.
  • Created a front-page on brunocassol.com with basic information about me.
  • Started Propero.org – Simple CMS I’m writing for PHP5.
  • Started ZenBuntu.com – Blog about Ubuntu and my experiences with it. Includes tips, how-tos and news.
  • Transfered all my domains from Yahoo SmallBusiness to GoDaddy. ZenBuntu.com will complete its transfer in 60 days from now. The reason is simple: Yahoo advertises domains for ~$12 but their renewal costs ~$30. That’s very very out of the market medium prices and yahoo offers nothing special (often less features) for that. Yahoo made lots of people mad with this.

More updates comming.

Of course it is. The text is open for you to read. But summarization of it is a service I provide for $10 bucks. Welcome to open source business, where you sell the service, not the product.
