This SIte's Rationale

January 2, 2010 11:18:03.611

I've had a few people ask me why I set up this blog when I have the well established one over at Cincom - So I figure an explanation is in order. The main reason is simple: over time, I've branched my topics well beyond Smalltalk. In some of those cases (copyright, for example), it could be said that I've stretched the bounds of what should be discussed on a corporate sponsored site.

The more I thought about that, the more sense it made to me to set up a new blog. That would give me the freedom to discuss topics that might not be appropriate there, but that I wanted to explore in public. Now, don't expect to see my going political here - I'm under no illusions that anyone really cares what I think about politics :) Unlike so many people (celebrities, for instance), I know that my readers come here for a few topics (primarily Smalltalk), and politics isn't one of them.

So what can you expect to see? Well, the Cincom site will have all of the Smalltalk content it's always had, but the rest of the stuff will live over here. I'll be talking Smalltalk here, too - there will be a fair bit of overlap there. You can consider this site to be a superset of the other one.
