Unified Diff

“Why would anyone care to read my opinions on a website?” That was the excuse I used for never having started my own blog. And for the longest time I was comfortable with that.

But now-a-days I’m seeing other computing professionals sharing their thoughts about products, personal projects, and even works-for-hire. Microsoft has a special blogging site for its employees to blab about company products. I am consistently finding good and helpful information from that website. And that’s just one of many.

Using the Internet as a publishing platform has definite advantages. Instead of handing prospective employers my resume, I can point them to my website. I tried this approach with my present employer… and it worked. The other big advantage is a little more altruistic. I know something… and you can know it, too, if I publish it. The point is that innovation breeds through collaboration.

In following with a good article that I recently read, I’m going to give this blogging thing a try. I think I shall write about my field — software systems and information security. These are great topics that I’m really interested in. And who knows?… maybe somebody will get something out of my ramblings.

So… here’s my blog.
