BSDMon NeXT Gen

A website, talking about Opensource system, video games, animations and ... myself

New BSDMon ! Code name: NeXt Gen

This is finally a new version of BSDMon. I'm back from my laziness, thanks to some great "tools" like the Symfony framework and Diem, a powerful CMS based on Symfony.

Symfony is a great PHP framework that helps you coding Web application and a good manner, the MVC pattern. If you don't use a PHP framework, you should really consider using one like Symfony !

Diem (currently the 5.1.3 version) is a powerful CMS application, developed with the Symfony 1.4 framework. This application will help you creating new pages, setting up menu navigation and also bringing you a blog application ! The only thing which is left to you is creating your graphical design, html and css layouts.
Since I'm still lazy (and I guess I will be like that, the rest of my life :D), I use a website template from Styleshout. I only have to adapt the css file to Diem layout.

I'm so happy to bring this new website in less effort. In the early 2003 (or maybe 2004), I remember programming BSDMon website with the concept of "weblog". As far as I remember, this concept was not as popular as it is today, with applications like Dotclear, Wordpress and many others. Maybe it did not exist, yet ? Anyway, programming BSDMon website was really a pain (D:), as it took me weeks and maybe months (many week-ends, for sure).

Now, I guess I will import/convert all of my previous articles and do HTTP 301 redirection, in order to not lose Google's results.
