TikZ examples relocated to TeXample.net

Just a quick note to inform you that the TikZ examples have been relocated to www.texample.net/tikz/examples/

Over the last couple years this site has accumulated a considerable amount of LaTeX-oriented content. The most popular content has without doubt been the TikZ and PGF examples. I have now collected close to hundred examples, most of them contributed by the community. To reflect this I felt the need for giving the examples a home that is not so tightly coupled with my personal web site. The result is TeXample.net.

Currently I have only moved the examples, but I plan to move most of the TeX-oriented content over to TeXample.net soon.

New BibConverter site

BibConverter has become a popular tool since I released it last year.
