It was on a trip to FOSDEM that I first considered the issue of having my own blog. My friends and I were in a restaurant and I was losing the argument. Badly. I was trying to explain why, despite my web presence in other areas, I didn’t have my own blog. My only line of reasoning wasn’t holding up well. My belief was that I had nothing of interest to say. However, if that was true, why did I talk to people about my ideas, thoughts, opinions, and why did I argue my case?

This then is the start of my blog. It will be technology-focused as my personal beliefs with respect to politics and religion have no bearing on the subject. However, the politics of technology is a worthy topic and is likely to appear over the forthcoming months.

For what it’s worth, I am a software engineer, tutor and writer with experience in games development, Open Source software, Linux and web technologies.
