On the subject of writing

Like most developers I've ever met, I tend to find there just aren't enough hours in the day to achieve everything I'd like to. As a result, I don't intend to maintain a regular blog here as I would hate for it to become stale & stagnant when time constraints prevented me from writing. However, I do love to write and I have plenty to talk about, so expect infrequent posts to appear here in something loosely reminiscent of article form.
