Things are taking shape
I first started this blog mainly as a way to promote stories and articles I’ve written that are published elsewhere. Soon enough, I also started using it as a scratch-pad for thoughts and ideas related to work. Just the simple act of typing them and posting them, where anybody can see them (even if few actually do) helps me to organize them and approach the problems and challenges more logically. Gradually, I also concluded that this would be a great place to put the entire collection of short stories that will eventually be published in a book entitled “Memoirs of a Horsetrader’s Son”. This blog is beginning to see some traffic now, and I’ve decided it’s time to add some organization, while evaluating some design enhancements. Look for a new theme shortly, as well as clearer boundaries between the stories, technical articles, and ‘Other’ - which will be a place to put random thoughts about anything. Until I start getting hit with a lot of spam, the ability to leave comments will remain open (although I do approve or reject them, I’ve never rejected any). If the blog gains in popularity, eventually it will attract spammers, and I’ll have to require captcha or registration or both. If you’re one of the (still mostly infrequent) visitors, welcome, and please feel free to leave feedback on anything you see here.
