35|boastMachine: Nice and Easy
March 16th, 2006 by Marcel Ursprung
Originally called “EZ-articles“, boastMachine was conceived sometime in December 2003 by, then 16 year old, Kailash (blog). It all started as a PHP learning exercise for Kailash Nadh from Kerala India.
“That was the time when I had just learned PHP. So basically, I was sitting there with nothing to do. Bling! I had an idea! I quickly opened my text editor, CuteHTML (my all time favorite), ran the Sambar webserver and started scribbling down php code. After long three hours, I finally came up with ‘EZ-articles’!”
Developed further, this project laid the foundations for version 1 of “bMachine“, later renamed to it’s full name boastMachine, and it’s current release.
boastMachine is open source (GPL) and written in PHP/MySQL. This is so far the only blog CMS that puts a smile on my face. While it’s not the most sophisticated system, it does have all the major features you would expect and it performs well. Overall it’s a visually attractive, nice, user friendly system, that makes blogging fun again. I you are currently using Blogger, but want to host your own blog, put this on your short list of possible replacements.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
A person essentially help to make critically posts I might state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and up to now? I amazed with the analysis you made to make this particular submit amazing. Wonderful task!
