First post!
Oh joys of joys, I have finally succumbed to the repeated blandishments of my buddies Russell Coker and Mitch Davis and have joined the heaving groaning mass of the blogosphere. The universe may never be the same again.
So what will this blog be about? It’s a reasonable question, after all. The answer is: whatever I damn well feel like writing.
Actually the real answer is more complicated, something like “whatever I damn well feel like writing, that doesn’t go against my contractual and moral obligations to my employer, that isn’t against the laws of any country I might want to visit, that I’m unlikely to get sued for, and that won’t annoy my friends too much”. As usual the truth is messier than the soundbite.
As a guide to what I might blog about, here’s a random selection of my interests:
- Linux kernel development
- networking protocols
- filesystems
- development tools (profilers, coverage, debuggers, test loads)
- history
- current affairs
- books
- science, biology, evolution
Yes, it’s all over the place. Well spotted. Give that reader a gold star.
Thanks to Russell for setting up WordPress for me.
