Blog opening now. I’m doing this so that I can expound on opinions in a general, linkable sense, instead of just as comments on reddit or HN or the other communities I patronize. There’s nothing wrong with linking to a reddit thread, and I’m happy to do that when it’s relevant, but this is a mechanism for me to write in generalized formats instead of specific replies (which also allows me to hone writing skills in a way I haven’t exercised for a long time), to be able to provide links to these crystalized renditions where relevant, and to get a more official outlet.
This site is being operated on Deseret Technology’s servers and will contain programming and business related material, but also probably political, philosophical, ideological, personal, and religious material. I recognize this may alienate some prospective clients, but I’m willing to try it and see where it goes. I don’t really want intolerant or closed-minded clients, because attitudes of closed-mindedness, intolerance, jingoism, etc. infect areas that branch into our work, and we don’t want to deal with those attitudes where avoidable. We can have a differing opinion, especially on something irrelevant to programming, and still provide great work on congenial terms.
This is a standard wordpress installation. No -mu here for now. I may invite others to contribute as occasion suggests, but for now, it’s just me. : )
