Presidium Podium

So, I’m going to give a whirl at starting a personal blog. It’s something I haven’t done since my trip to Europe 2003, the impressions of which I meticulously documented from the computer lab at Universität Innsbruck on a homespun blog and content management system crafted largely for this purpose, which immediately fell into neglect soon upon my return.

Hand-crafted blog software. That was back in the halcyon high school days, when I had time for such things. I did, and still do suffer from a bad case of Not Invented Here Syndrome.

Fear not, no such inventiveness here. The pragmatism of age and occupation has given way to WordPress not appearing to be the evil it once was, even if evil is the term you are moved to apply to the justice my slightly-customised template does to Web 2.0 aesthetics. That’s cool; if you want good web design, talk to this guy.

The main impetus for this is actually to disassociate some of my personal writings from the Evariste Systems Blog as I find increasingly that the topics I wish to write about do not comport neatly with the purpose of that blog, nor necessarily align with what I desire to be official positions of the company from a marketing and corporate identity management standpoint.

So, if you like, stick the RSS feed in your reader of choice.
