One of the problems with setting up a website or especially a blog, is the guilt you give yourself over not writing more often. “It’s been a long time since I’ve written here…” I see it all over the place. There are even people who guilt themselves for not writing every day. Well, I’ve decided I’m just not going to worry about that. Instead I run my web statistics and check how many times people are looking at old entries. The one about W and Y is particularly popular for some strange reason.
I don’t have a lot of Christmas spirit this year; feeling very cynical. Mainly due to work, with the same perennial problem – working with people who are clueless when it comes to defining what they want out of an application. Sometimes I can invent stuff, other times I just can’t be bothered. And in this case working with ASP.NET and C# – despite whatever technical merits they might have they’re still Microsoft products, and now that I’ve started I actually don’t have a good reason to be using them; really should be writing this in PHP instead, but -I’ve already started and would have to go back and recreate; -would have to support UNIX server myself, and -Don’t intend to stick with it. Oh, and -might be useful to know some C# and ASP.NET just for comparison.
