5 Years Old - Quinquennial Anniversary!
This post does not relate to any other topics
While completing the Survey 2008 I noticed that this weblog has now surpassed the five year mark and in fact the wooden anniversary on July 1st slipped by without a mention. So here are a few quick words to toast our Quinquennial celebration - five years of blogging.
Input to this weblog has not been as enthusiastic and regular since the Winter of 2005. As I entered 2006 my priorities moved to new horizons and the future family that I am now lucky enough to share my life with. I was also feeling despondent with the attitude of the web community and blogging fraternity in general (a view recently shared in part by new media guru Justin Calacanis). In 2006 hand-rolled blogging software was becoming a thing of the past with the rapid advancement of numerous publishing systems and the volume of web-centric blogs increased as their quality decreased. There was rarely enough time in the day to both dissect the important information and share my own thoughts and knowledge.
While I cannot guarantee I will ever return to the volume of postings I once offered I would like to think I can keep this weblog alive and generate enough interest from a few valuable entries that will keep you coming back for more.
So with five years under my belt it is onwards and upwards. Who knows what the future will hold but I know it will never cease to be exciting..!

Back Again!?
This post does not relate to any other topics
Once again apologies for a long spell of absence…! No excuses. I have been absorbing my time with our beautiful daughter, Olive. It has taken four months but finally we have found a balanced routine.
So, with my first footsteps into Vista looming on the horizon I felt this was a good time to try and return to some informative blogging.

Roger Johansson has raised a bit of debate on the use of comments and how it potentially imposes on what he writes. Further links and discussion on Jeremy Keith's blog.

Digg and Reddit Archiving Available

Forget about commenting on this weblog directly - comments are no more. So be gone evil spammers!
If you like what you have read and feel it is worth sharing with the social labyrinth that is the web at large then why not Digg the entry or add it to Reddit using the buttons provided next to each post.
I think both these social sharing sites provide a far better starting block for comments and discussion than buried away in the archives of my site.
