This Blog is Getting Shutdown. Update Your Entries

I've come to the conclusion that a lot of what I post is merely my opinion. While opinions do matter to some degree, I have come to realize that the majority of blog posts, including my own, are pointless chatter that really offer no value to anyone. Given that, I am redirecting this blog to my corporate blog at http://www.sanative.net/blog. Posts made to the corporate blog will be based upon fact and contain information readers will find useful and, hopefully, appealing. I appreciate your readership, thoughtful comments and debates over the last couple of years!

The redirection will occur 8/1/2008. No archive of this site will be available from this domain. If you have found any of the info on this blog to be useful, please copy the info to your archives at this time.

Raymond Camden's Gravatar Can I ask why? What is wrong with sharing your personal opinions?

TJ Downes's Gravatar Ray, there's nothing inherently wrong with sharing opinions.

My viewpoint, and the entire reason I've decided that it's wrong for me, is that all too often bloggers' opinions or viewpoints on a topic are flat out wrong and not supported by any facts or, all too commonly, complete propaganda designed to further the writer's agenda. Even I may have been guilty of this from time to time.

Moving my posts to my corporate site accomplishes two things:

1. It makes me more responsible for what I am writing. It's is much more likely that my writings will more likely to be fact-based.

2. Readers can be certain of my agenda, which is to sell the company's services.

(oops, my bad. Somehow I signed this post as Ray Camden... not intentional. My apologies to Ray, and it has been corrected)

Joel Hooks's Gravatar I agree that blogging tends to be mental masturbation. I set out with the intention of posting solutions to specific problems with examples in code, and fight the urge to interject my opinion, especially when it is a strong one (and turns out to be flat wrong ;P ).

I really avoid 'state of the industry' fluff and other such business, and want it to be more of an extension of my CV. In other words blatant self-promotion!

Steve Bryant's Gravatar TJ,

I think a lot of blogs are largely personal opinion and that is OK.

While I understand your reasons for moving your blog, you have a lot of content here that has probably been linked to from several sources. It would be a pity for all of that to be lost.
