Yet another migration
The first post of 2012 (in May… shame on me) is about yet another migration of the site!As you may know Posterous, that I previously used, was bought by twitter.

The animation is not that good though, especially compared to the new things we’re developing.Anyway this is a great showcase for the navigation engine I’ve been developing since more than 2 years. The path following [...]
