Blogging: I finally gave in.

. Moving to Blogger was a tough decision (nevermind the technical ones). I've finally bitten the bullet, Or kicked the bucket, or something.

I've been``logging'' my life and work using computers---recording much detail---long before the Web as we know it existed, and long before anyone ever dreamed it would be good idea to 'blog'.

So I have in here my possession this copious data, aggregated from all the computers I've ever used since before Van Jacobson invented header compression. I journalled events, technical procedures, musings, and private thoughts. I never saw any reason to unleash this stuff upon the world at large. This stuff was *my* stuff---material intended for me, and me alone.

So I'm still deciding whether to put *any* of it up here. At the very least, I'd have to filter through all the meaningless (to you) private stuff and choose to publish only that which is approved for the general public.

Now that everyone and their pets are making a great deal more noise than ever in cyberspace, tweeting away, I figure I might as well publish *something* or other, And now is as good a time as any. I physically connected some of my hitherto private servers to the 'net today.

Could there possibly be some kind of value to spending my time this way? We'll find out soon enough. Maybe, like Lewis Carroll's Red Queen, ``we must run very fast in order to stand still.'' But I think not---not if I can help it.

Thanks for reading this much.
