Why, you might ask, would anyone who frequents TechMiso want to read articles about health? Health in today’s world full of processed food and sedentary lifestyles should be everyone’s concern, especially those who spend a major portion of their days sitting in front of a computer.
As an ex-overweight IT professional I have seen way too many good techs succumb to the epidemic of the expanded midsection and the inevitable decline in general health. We simply cannot afford to keep losing the valuble experience of these dedicated individuals to the impending heart attack or stroke.

As most folks have noticed, TechMiso has not been producing vast quantities of Miso Soup over the course of the past couple weeks. Comparing our two-week output to each week prior and it becomes evident that our Miso Soup kitchen is not performing up to our high standards. In the interest of full disclosure and rather than keep our faithful readers in the dark, I would like to enlighten everyone on the status of the Miso Soup.

As if the TechMiso crew wasn’t getting big enough, it just got worse. Today TechMiso faced a few serious problems as their website was raided by Dutch farmers who sell tulips, live in Amsterdam and walk around in wooden clogs all day. Luckily for them, they only left one person behind, that person is me.
So let me introduce myself. My name is Yorick Peterse, I am your average 16 year old boy, who’s currently enjoying the fact that he’s done with Secondary school (finally.) There’s only one problem, I have an addiction. Only the addiction is a positive one, I am addicted to photography and web development. I started doing both about a year ago, first web development, and after a few months I also gotten into photography. It wasn’t the first time I came into contact with art, in fact, I’ve been into art my whole life. Now you might wonder what the heck this has to do with TechMiso, but to tell you the truth, it has everything to do with it.

When TechMiso first launched the site was operating on a special Joyent Accelerator with minimal specifications. The site quickly outgrew the nominal features set so we migrated to a 256 slice at SliceHost, one of the best virtual service providers today. Although a superior provider, we immediately started experiencing problems with Apache due to it eating more RAM than available. Cherokee web server came to the rescue and solved all our problems, world peace to follow.

When Scott first tweeted that he was looking for a writer for TechMiso, it took me a few days to tell him that I was interested simply because I wasn’t sure if I was. Could I get myself back into the writing game? Did I have enough time between a full-time job and studying for a professional paper? Then I smacked myself in the face and told myself to stop whining. From then on, it took over a week of mulling over what I wanted to write about. It didn’t help that he basically gave me carte blanche to write about whatever I wanted. I bugged people on Twitter, on mIRC, over wine, and basically anywhere and everywhere IRL and online.

The Miso Soup loving tandem behind TechMiso thought it would be fun to start a new weekly “open post” feature strictly aimed at our community. The idea is to write one article a week which has no intent whatsoever other than to allow you, our beloved participants, to post comments on whatever your hearts desire.

Scott, the driving force, and my close cohort here at TechMiso, challenged me to write up a ‘hidden gems’ article covering my past efforts here on the site. I’ll be first to admit — my blogging is [far] off Scott’s lead lap. Even more so in recent months with pressing business and changes in family schedules.
I did however take a moment to dig up a few Miso nuggets here to (re)share for those who may have missed them -or- if you might have recently hopped on the TechMiso train.

TechMiso, our little crevice on the web, has been alive for only five months. In our short lifespan we have written what we believe to be insightful, helpful and at times visionary articles. A lot of these posts were overlooked as a result of our young age. Many of our favorite posts deserve a second chance to be read by our audience of Miso Soup lovers so I thought it would be fun to highlight twenty-five of my very own hidden gems from the past five months.

Just over two months ago, Scott and I took the plunge and launched TechMiso — putting us on the vast blogospheric map. As Scott put it in our first State Of The Miso,
this is our tribute to technology evangelism and miso soup.
It’s fun to say that we are running now for over 61 days with zero downtime on the TechMiso record. With no further ado, here’s our stats as we stand now:
