So, it's been a while since I've posted anything of significance. This isn't to say that I don't have ideas floating around in my head; it's just that putting together a whole technical post seems to take an exorbitant amount of time.
I've also noticed this in other people's technical blogs: Russell Beattie, Ben Combee, and Bram Cohen are just examples of the general disinterest in blogging that I've noticed. Certainly Ben remains prolific in his personal blog, but it's been over a year since he's had any activity in his technical one.
Why is that? Are Engineers simply fickle with fads and the blog is yet another to lose our interest? I still read other people's blogs (when they post), but only if the RSS feed looks interesting to me. Otherwise, I simply mark it as read and move on.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I have things to say, like the fact that some of my code is now being used to detect whales for the U.S. Navy (how weird is that?) or about how to programatically dismiss dialogs on the Palm OS, or about how .Net 2.0 Forms are diabolically slow. But quite frankly, those kinds of posts take time, and will have to wait for later.
Cheers,
-Jon
