Everything old . . .
I have been blogging for five years – not regularly, but this has been a place to keep my thoughts, and to share them. Overall, blogging has been satisfying. Therefore, if I can, I would like to continue another five years.
Today, I am launching a new look, based on a dependable template from Elegant Themes. What it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for by being clean, efficient, easy to manage and html compliance.
Last week, I turned fifty. Wow! I wrote my first line of code in 1977, and I have owned a personal computer since 1982. I still love programming, and I am still excited about new things. So, I am going to blog some more. If I play it right, my career is going to change course this year.
I face the following challenges:
- I am aging – I rarely work with programmers my own age.
- Consulting with government clients is not as challenging as I would like.
- My work has stopped being fun.
- I see no chance to achieve anything worthwhile doing what I am doing.
It is no secret that I identify with Don Quixote – I even named my bike Rocinante, after his horse. So, it’s time to find an adventure. Let us go, Sancho. My enemies are not as imaginary as they seem.
First, I am going to reorganize and purge some of content, and create some new categories.
