Now that I wrote my VBScript.NET post, I’m finding others have also been addressing the issue. Maybe one more voice helps? An open letter to Microsoft by Danny Boyd Why do hobbyists matter? by Paul Vick Save the Hobbyist Programmer by Kathleen Dollard Actually, I previously read Kathleen’s article and it influenced my essay but when …

Responding to Eric Lippert’s Blog Entry

Thanks Eric for acknowledging my post. Eric, sorry about misusing Mort and Matt. I didn’t see the comments of Peter Torr and your responses until after I wrote my long rambling post (yes I agree, it was long and rambling, intentionally.)

A little background is in order…

As my second post I guess I’ll tell potential readers a little about myself and my company. I live in Atlanta, Georgia USA where I have lived most of my life. From 1981 to 1988 I attended Georgia Tech to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and an "honorary" degree in Computer Science. I gave …

Welcome to the real world

Hello all. Today I am embarking on what might well become the most time fascinating yet consuming project on my life. Writing a blog.  It started many moons ago when Greg Silvano of CodeHound told me “You have to get a blog! You have far too many things to say to the world not to …
