Hello everyone. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season this year, and I wish you many blessings for the coming year.

I don’t know how many people know this, but this is actually the fourth (or fifth?) incarnation of The Idea Basket. It was originally a tech news and commentary site, which underwent several permutations and eventually closed. I started up this blog version of The Idea Basket in 2005, and I’ve been very happy with the format. However, in recent times, some major events have transpired in my life to cause me to reevaluate pretty much everything I’m doing. As difficult as this decision is for me, it is one that I feel is right. I’m closing The Idea Basket. This is the last post I’ll make, and I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed posting here, and your comments and suggestions have been most appreciated.

The xajax project which I’ve been working on since October 2005 is still in business, and we’re very close to releasing Beta 2 of the new 0.5 codebase. A new Web site for xajax is also in the works, which will include a development blog managed by myself and rest of the xajax team. So you’ll still be able to get your xajax news from a familiar face.

Meanwhile, I’m in the process of embarking on an entirely new venture, a personal blog on Christian spirituality. Yes, it’s a completely different subject, but it’s one that has become a significant transformational aspect of my life the past couple of years. I’ll update this post when the site goes live.

Anyway, thank you again for being my readership, and I wish you all the best in 2007. God bless you!
