Personal Notes [by Jarvklo]

I used to blog on about web standards a while back.

You could say I had about 15 minutes of limited web standard fame in some parts of Sweden - up until about the time life started craving all of my attention and I found that the words stopped coming when I sat down to blog. This was about three years ago, and I eventually quit bloging alltogether and tried to leverage what little link value I had accumulated and point it in the direction of this site instead.

 For a while there  I had the number one spot on Google for the keyword "XHTML" if you restricted your search to "Sites in Swedish" or "Sites from Sweden"...

... but this is not a lament about "the good old days" or some tale of remorse over a time long gone - quite the contrary...

... these thoughts are about doing what you can to avoid "information rot".

This is an entirely different story :)

10 years ago the XHTML 1.0 recommendation was published as a Technical Recommendation (aka "web standard") by the W3C.

Happy 10th birthday XHTML 1.0 !

But in the light of HTML5, what's next for XHTML 1.0 ? Oblivion?

Not nescessarily if you ask me :)

But let's start at the beginning...

I used to blog in Swedish before I more or less gave up on it altogether almost a year ago.
I didn't stop blogging for any particular reason - I just ran out of steam there for a while as I felt that I was starting to turn into a grumpy old fart that was more likely to criticize and comment on things I didn't like than to try to constructively add to the community the way I felt I did a few years back.

This blog is an attempt to create a new channel where I can write down my thoughts, describe my experiments in the web standards realm and sometimes just try to write something for the hell of it - i.e. a place where I can do pretty much what I like without any other purpose than to have fun, be creative and occasionally perhaps even step back up on my old soapbox and make my personal opinions heard.

Thanks to Anton and the rest of the crew involved in Project 52 for helping me relight this fire.

I'm sure it will be an interesting experience for me and I hope it might interest those of you out there who used to follow my scribblings in Swedish back in the day and still haven't canceled your RSS subscriptions :)

Anyhow...

Regardless of how you've found these notes, you're welcome to this site dear visitor !

Here we go!

To infinity and beyond!

Enjoy (I know I will) !
