Hello, world.
This will be a mirror of the content of my weblog 24-hour drive-thru. I've been using Blogger as the tool for publishing drive-thru, and now I'm giving Userland Radio a try. Thanks to John Robb, a honcho at Userland, the company which makes Radio. John recommended I give Radio another try after having some problems with it and abandoning it a few months ago. Thanks also to Lawrence Lee, a tech support wizard at Userland, who helped me work through some problems installing the software.
(Apparently, I had a mis-configured the firewall Zone Alarm Pro which was causing conflicts with Radio; once I uninstalled ZAP everything worked fine - I should note that thousands of people have found Radio easy to install and use. My system is configured oddly - just because I had problems with Radio doesn't mean you will.)
About me: In my 13 years in the computer trade press, I've covered almost every subject in information technology, including the Internet, e-commerce, Microsoft, and software development. I started covering the Internet full-time in 1994, and did extensive reporting on the Internet prior to that, starting at the very beginning of my computer trade press career in 1989. I've been a staff writer for InternetWeek, Computerworld, InformationWeek and Open Systems Today, and done freelance writing for Network World, BtoB magazine, SDTimes and others.
My resume and clips are here.
Before I got into the computer trade press, I was a community newspaper reporter, covering town government, police, a couple of murders, and what seemed like a million fires and car accidents for the New Jersey Herald.
I now live in San Diego with my wife and two useless cats. I read a lot (now reading "The Years of Rice and Salt," by Kim Stanley Robinson; just finished "Amnesia Moon" by the excellent Jonathan Lethem), watch some TV (favorite new show: "Monk," about an obsessive-compulsive private detective, starring the excellent Tony Shalhoub), and spend a lot of time at the computer.
So welcome to my blog. I'll continue to update it in its original location, this site is, for now, just an experiment to see how I like Radio. The original location has the purty pikchurs and logo and layout, but BOTH locations will have the same text and links, and the text and links are the good stuff, anyway.
