I've made numerous attempts to keep a blog over the years, with mixed results. The problem is, I'm a risk-averse developer, favouring reliable, tried n' tested technologies that get the job done rather than pursuing this month's new shiny buzz-word. Now, I keep an eye on what's happening in the software world, but I don't jump on every industry trend in the interests of trying to appear current. I guess I've been doing this long enough to see the same old ideas reappear time n' time again under a different name... (grrr, get off my lawn!)

As a result, I don't blog opinion pieces on the latest industry happenings, or interesting technical articles on the latest new hotness. But when I do feel inclined to ramble on about something, this is where I do it.

In case it isn't entirely obvious, what follows are my personal views and opinions, not those of my employer...
