I have been quiet...
I have not blogged here in a while, nor have I blogged on my personal site. Why, two-fold. One, I just hired a .net developer and I have been very busy with ramp up and training. Hopefully, he will be blogging here soon, Bill Sanders.
Secondly, and probably the main reason, I have received some rude comments and e-mails about my blogs. Most of which were out right obnoxious and rude. Stuff like "Hey jerk..." and "You are a poor developer if you post that". I have also received some e-mails that imply I am too chatty. With all that said, I have been somewhat turned-off to blogging, realizing the 'global/public' nature of the whole thing.
I was having a lot of fun sharing and writing. However, a few inconsiderate, selfish, pigheaded folks have made me take a step back and re-visit the whole idea of blogging. I honestly do not have the time or patience to respond to these types of e-mails nor am I happy that folks feel the need to attack. It simply makes no sense, and by being silent I do not have to deal with it. BTW, this also applies to LISTSERVS, mainly the DevelopMentor ones. I love reading them and I love replying and posting. However, same thing. I few folks decided to send me e-mails implying I am too chatty. So, I am walking away from all this for a while.
