You may or may not know that I'm terribly busy at work at the moment, rewriting a large application that has its roots in PHP3 (oh yeah) and is a crazy mix of HTML and PHP. Things like 'abstraction', 'layers', or even just 'separating code and presentation' are completely alien concepts there. So I decided to ...

Dear Lazyweb, I need a new Laptop, preferably a Convertible or Tablet PC. Minimum requirements are: long battery time (4h+, ideally ~8h (with additional battery if neccessary)) >= 1GB RAM >= 80GB harddisk, 120GB preferred (or if the laptop is cheap, I'll just upgrade it myself) display > XGA (1024x768), old-school, not one of those mirrors ...

Everyone and their mother were starting to get disgruntled with WordPress - it had its share of scandals, its codebase contained a...
