Talking to Myself
When a friend of mine, Kevin Koehne, started his blog, I noticed how useful it was for him to record and remember development issues he figured out (example). A blog isn’t just for other people – it’s quite useful for the blog author as a knowledgebase. It’s extremely easy to enter notes, and built-in searching makes it easy to find relevant information later. As an added bonus, the public nature of a blog forces the author to write approximately well enough that the content might actually be usable later. And of course, the fact that a blog actually is public means that other people can share in the benefit of ones own discoveries.
So with that spirit, I strike out to use my blog in much the same way – as a knowledgebase for myself and my company as much as for sharing my views with the world.
