Me, Myself and Others
2005.09.08
We’ve been talking about an Asian designer blog for some time now. A place for the unheard voices of Asia to speak up, and the rest of the world to have a conversation with them. We did decide on a place, and it happened to be this blog.
Starting from today, Nidahas will no longer be the personal website of some insignificant designer from some island in the Indian Ocean. It’ll be the blog of several insignificant designers and geeks, probably scattered all over Asia. To start things off, we have Mahangu and Dulan from Vesess who will be blogging FOSSSL. Who knows, the rest of the world just might listen, and with some luck, Asian designers might not be so insignificant afterall.
It’s a quick move, and the site’s design probably isn’t ideally suited for a collaborative blog, but that can change over time. What’s more important is that we’ll be having more people writing better thoughts than I could ever come up with on my own.
Over to you, Asians.

In which case I’ll be reading with even more interest than usual. You could become the 37 Signals or Particle Tree of Asia!
Good luck to all :o)

Great idea!
one question though: can your site handle the performance needs/ i hate noticed it can get quite slow at times.

James: Thanks. As for site performance, we’ll probably make some changes to the design, and probably change our host if needed.
Asela: Dude, you’re so gonna be in here soon.
John: We have swearers, but no one half as good as you.
Andrea: Thanks, we’re on the hunt for female asian designers who’d be interested… I’m sure you’ll like that :o)
