Stimulating Discussion
I'd like this be a place where hard-working people can engage in serious technical discussions, but without taking themselves too seriously or putting other people down in the process. Life hands us puzzles in which the pleasure derived by working out the solution is often proportional to the difficulties encountered along the way. Let's try to play the game with style!
Most of the forums and all blogs are visible to all guests. Registered users may access free, open-source downloads and post their own threads or comments to the public forums. Users who have posted thoughtful questions or comments to any of the forums will generally be rewarded by being promoted to the 'Trusted Users' group. This will enable a number of other features, such as user profile customization, file attachments and calendar event creation.
Improved Client Support
A primary goal of this site is to provide better service to my clients, the end users of my applications. Active clients who have registered for the site will be given access to a special client downloads area and client forum visible only to them. The client downloads area will be primarily used for distributing software updates and releases. The client forums can be used for posing questions, reporting bugs, making suggestions or anything else.
Eclectic Tech Blogs
I have several friends who are involved in engineering, programming, design and IT. From time to time, we all struggle with and eventually solve difficult problems. When we find an elegant solution to an interesting problem, it's a pleasure to find someone who shares an interest in the topic, willing to listen to our the heroic tale. But as our languages become more specialized, it becomes harder to find someone who gets what we're talking about. I hope that instead of letting those moments of clarity fade without an ear, my friends who don't have blogs of their own will use the blog space here to share their stories.
