I meant to make this post the other day, but I forgot, and have had various goings on that have kept my attention away from making it.
Simply put – we have new staff over on the Ubuntu Forums 
Please join me in congratulating drs305, duanedesign, Iowan, lisati, loell, Ms_Angel_D & philinux on their new roles on the forum, I’m sure you’ll all do great!
It’s a massive overhaul of the current dashboard…actually no…it’s a totally new dashboard I’ve had a poke and a prod around various sites, and it does look quite funky (and yes – the Wii style avatar things are true, but they don’t look that bad actually).
I’m really quite looking forward to it, hopefully it won’t be ridiculously slow when it’s finally released (I can think of a certain (read: current) release that can be painfully slow at times…)
I also found a link to what looks like a genuine (if somewhat small) gallery of images for the new dashboard.

New Home!
As I posted earlier today (sorry for any Planet spam!), I planned on moving my Planet Ubuntu feed over to blog.joeb454.com later in the week.
I changed my mind and did it about an hour after posting that last post. Hopefully I remembered to use the correct feed type for WordPress, else I’ll have to edit it again!
From what I’ve seen though, the site seems to be holding up pretty well, It’s not using gross amounts of RAM just yet, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it
The only real issue I’ve run into is that it doesn’t seem to want to email me when a comment is held for moderation, or when a comment is left at all.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t, because it sends out emails for registration. I’ll have to wait and see how that one goes
