About this site
This is an attempt to reboot my personal blogging routine. We’ll see how it goes.
I have been maintaining some sort of personal site online since 1995, initially at http://www.ibm.com/~epc, followed by some now–long–dead Earthlink site, followed by http://epcostello.net/.
I blogged about technology for some time at http://artific.com/202, but that ran off the rails as I realized I was building up the reputation of the LLC I do business under (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not my personal brand) and the personal cost of maintaining the site (read: killing off spam attacks on comments and trackbacks) was killing any pleasure of actually writing.
On my personal site I’ve written or posted over 1500 entries ranging from long discourses about career burnout, history of IBM’s presence on the Internet, pictures of my dogs, etc. Now, while my dogs are incredibly cute, they do not enhance my reputation as a technology consultant. Nor does apparent whining about my time at IBM.
So…this reboot. It’s presently hosted on posterous but I reserve the right to fling it off to some other service at my whim. In fact I’m just going to go ahead and commandeer my tumblr site and echo posts to there as well.
