It's time for me to say goodbye to the Carrypad journal and it's a sad moment. Not because its finishing. No, Its a sad moment because I actually feel emotional about ending the blog that started Carrypad. I need help and that's what's sad ;-)

For you readers, nothing really changes. I'm just moving my reporting over to Origamiportal.com where the posting management is a lot more reliable. There's more room for development, archiving, searching and importantly - comment tracking. I hate the fact that you can't subscribe to comments on a blogger entry.

If you're watching via RSS, don't worry because I've already spliced Origamiportal onto the Carrypad RSS feed. You don't need to do anything. Stand easy. The same feed also appears on the front page of Carrypad so you'll see the news there too. The rest of Carrypad stays the same for the time being. Reports and Reviews. Product portal. Link database. Gallery. Only the journal goes into freeze.

Over the next month there will be some redevelopment work going on and I hope to be able to introduce a combined site under the UMPCportal name before CeBit. In the meantime, here's a summary of the content as it stands today. Click to access:

• UMPC news and 'Chippy's Blog'  (The Journal continues!)
• UMPC Forums
• UMPC Gallery
• UMPC Product information
• UMPC Link database

And for RSS feeds:

• All news, reports and editorial (no forums, links)
• Forum topics
• Product links database (links of interest. Mostly reviews.)

Finally here's a combined search engine that spans Carrypad and Origamiportal. If you can't find the info you need there, drop me a line via the contact page.

Thanks for watching. I'm looking forward to seeing you all over at Origamiportal.
