Blogging

I started "blogging" (I don't think the term had been invented yet) in December 1997, at the time when Linux and free software were starting to take of as credible alternatives to Unix and Windows NT for business IT. I stopped in October 1999, for reasons I don't remember.

After a few years off, I resumed blogging in 2005, with a focus on my business as a Python and Zope, then later Java, company, but also covering other subjects related to free / open source software, including software patents.

You can read these posts, most of them about companies and ideas that have either passed away, or are now considered mainstream, in the archives.
