Journals Of GMM is Gisle's blog, where he posts updates on his personal life, live shows, work on the Kometkameratene show, Uncanny Planet and undergoing projects. Previous hot topics like copyright law/DRM and steampunk have now taken a back seat.
It met its end on June 9th 2009, when the Ugress website was redesigned, and the blog was integrated into it. During its over three year lifespan, it was continuously on alleged beta stage - however, no announced features were missing or broken. The blog is still browsable, however it is stated it will soon start to automatically redirect.
[edit] Old version
The newest version of the journal is the second one. The journal was updated February 7th 2007.
The old version had a great green bar on the top of the page, with a white and a much smaller logo. Old version didn't have a comments feature, and as such, no user system either. It didn't have a search function, and all permanent links to posts were long arrays of untangible gibberish.
The old version also featured two polls, one asking what bitrate would people appreciate if they were to buy MP3's directly from Gisle, other asking about the importance of VBR. These polls were taken down with the facelift. The old version displayed Norwegian names for days and months in blog timestamps; weekdays are not displayed at all in the new version, and English month names were introduced.
A tag cloud was added to the right sidebar, and sidebar windows were made more seperate and have gray backgrounds in the facelift.
