Just another blog ?

So I finally got around to writing a professional blog. I’ve been planning on starting one for a long time, but never got around to actually doing it, mostly due to time constraints.

This blog serves just one purpose : to publish the ideas that sometimes pop into my head, often while working on a technical solution, sometimes while thinking about a business idea or just while browsing the Web.

It will be a collection of long, technical or business oriented articles, often mixed with short and succinct items… mostly thoughts about IT, business or anything else that I may find interesting.

My main goal is for this blog to serve as a historical record for myself… if by any chance someone else enjoys reading it, it’ll have served more than its purpose !
