The year is almost over, so I guessed this would be the perfect time to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a healthy, successful and splendid New Year.<\/p>\n

2008 has been quite busy for me\u2026   I\u2019ve migrated this blog from Sharepoint to WordPress, made this blog available on the internet over ipv6, moved between houses, introduced a discussion forum<\/a> on this blog, worked on some new free tools<\/a>, and improved some of the existing free tools.  Luckily I\u2019ve also found some time to extend my never-ending quest for knowledge, doing research on (for me) new technologies, and to share the stuff that I\u2019ve discovered on this blog.<\/p>\n

I hope some of the information that I\u2019m sharing has been helpful for you\u2026 and I will continue to share interesting things as they come along, and I would urge you to do the same\u2026   <\/p>\n

After all, knowledge is worthless unless it\u2019s shared.  Without feedback from you, there\u2019s no way for me to know if my efforts mean anything or not.<\/p>\n

You can use the Comments section at the bottom of each post, you can use the rating system at the top of each post, you can use the forum to post and answer questions\u2026  If you think a new section in the should be added to the forum, let me know.  If you want to get more information about an existing post, or if you want me to write something about a particular topic, let me know and I\u2019ll see what I can do.    If you want to share information that you have found yourself, let me know too\u2026  We can work something out & make sure you get the credits for sharing your knowledge<\/p>\n

Bottom line : this blog is not a static thing. Feel free to make it more dynamic than it is already by linking to this blog, by posting comments, questions, feedback\u2026 anything that could be of use for me or anyone else.  If you like stuff on this blog, tell others.  If you don\u2019t like stuff, tell me.<\/p>\n

And in case you haven\u2019t done so, you can get notified when new information is posted by subscribing via RSS<\/a> or via email<\/p>\n

I would like to thank the more than 6000 visitors for stopping by in 2008, and thanks for continuing to working with me in 2009 !<\/p>\n

May the packets be with you<\/p>\n

See you next year !<\/p>\n
