Lately I've deleted a number of half finished posts and not put much live so this bit of advice is for myself... stop rambling. If I can't keep myself interested long enough to actually finish writing the posts there's no way you lot are going to read them. Most of the missing posts have been the longer essay type that stray from technical issues into pure dribble about software development politics. These tend to be the posts that make my eyes glaze over when reading other technical blogs which is a bad sign.
In future I will stick to posts that are either technical, short and / or ridiculous. In case you were wondering here is a short list of titles you've missed out on:
- University sucks, I'm a better teacher (and modest too)
- BOOB (an essay on the pitfalls of Building Out Of the Box)
- Stop f*cking doing that (a tribute to dumbasses everywhere)
- Agile (our excuse for everything)
If you do want to hear more from me I now have both RSS and Email subscriptions running as you can see in the top right of the page. RSS is probably the better option but Email works well for those that aren't mashing it up already.
I'd also be interested to hear about what effect blogging has had on peoples writing and communication skills, could it be beneficial in general?
