Well, it’s been a loooong time without posting… What with one thing and another, it’s been impossible to spare some time to blog, in particular with the model I had been following. Software reviews are fun to write, but they take a long time to do. Download, install, test, test some more, and then look for the best way to present your findings. Apart from that, while I was reviewing software that is mostly related to what I do for a living (I am currently working in a project to deploy Rational Portfolio Manager, a project/portfolio management tool from IBM, at a software development company), testing and installing all those tools was becoming too heavy for me. I breathe project management tools every hour of the day at work, so I think I need my blog to be a space where I can take a break from the “serious” stuff and relax.
All this means that the blog will be heading in a new direction now. I don’t know yet exactly what will happen, but probably I will try to be more relaxed about what I post about for some time, and then we’ll see if things start naturally heading towards a particular direction. If this direction doesn’t show up, well, then I will just keep the blog as a place to keep random thoughts and ideas.
I would like to thank those who have kept their subscriptions to my RSS feed through these long silences, and ask you to maybe hang around for a little while - who knows, maybe the blog will improve over time?
