Hi
I’m a technology enthusiast with a wide variety of interests. I have recently started working for Symlabs as a technical author, although I guess I wear a variety of hats. My first experiences on the Internet date back to around 1990, before the World Wide Web had become what it is today. Since then, my life seems to have revolved around technology in some way or another, and I have become increasingly passionate about it.
I have created this blog for a number of reasons. Firstly, I just wanted somewhere to put down any random thoughts that I have about technology in general, since I do seem to spend a fair amount of time thinking about it. More importantly, with the work that I am currently involved in, I feel the need to share some of the new technologies that I am being exposed to. I’m also inclined to try to find a way to present difficult technical ideas in ways that are more accessible to the average person on the net. A lot of the information that I deal with is very obtuse and even I find myself nodding off trying to wade through some of it. It is usually heavily jargonized and exceedingly complicated to read. Maybe the odd geek can really get excited about a new set of specifications or an RFC, but most people seem to glaze over just hearing the word ’specification’. I’d like to try to bridge the gap that I think exists between uber-geeks and the rest of the world, mostly because I find myself somewhere in the middle.
So, on one hand, this blog will simply be a place for me to comment on things that interest me, while on the other hand, I will also try to turn it into a high-level resource where you might find explanations of certain new technologies. Finally, I’m an honest person. I’m proud of the company that I work for and the products that we are developing, so I’m sure to plug Symlabs wherever I can. Of course, this is a personal blog, so anything I write is not vetted and may not express the company’s opinion in any way, but hopefully my upfront honesty and the articles that I write will help to convince you that this isn’t just another chunk of mindless marketing. I genuinely have things to share, and I want to share them in a genuine way.
Please come back and visit soon. I hope to put up a new article as often as possible.
