Hey, you, and you, and you, my two or three regular readers not related to me by blood or employment, I'm still here, and I plan to continue on blogging.
The posting has been lax of late, but if you look at my history over the last 3 years, the summer is always a slow blog time.
Why?
Because we can go outside baby!
But right now, actually, I'm in the middle of this insane project where I'm going to have to plan, build, and launch five corporate websites ... before August 1st.
The problem isn't the planning, the building, or the launching of any of these sites: I'm a professional developer, and I know what to do.
The problem is the politics baby.
Inside of a company, there is probably no other project that is more of a lightningrod for both acclaim and criticism than the company website.
After all, it sits "out there," just one click away from anyone's scrutiny and pejorative, whether they have something valuable to add or are just waiting to spew straight-up BS.
Everyone, and their freaking executive assistant has an opinion about the company wegsite, even though none of them could build anything half-decent on their own.
On Monday, I watched as about 85 years of cumulative company experience -- and basically all of the senior-level talent that could actually understand the differenes between designing a Quark file and designing a web application -- just walk out the door in another "cost-cutting" measure.
All that knowledge and experience ... cut off just like that.
So believe it or not, but all of a sudden, my job has me on the run, and I can't even spare the 15 minutes here or there, to do a little blogging.
But once I get back into the flow, I'll definitely turn on the comments feature again.
But for now, I'll have to blog sparingly, and you will have to keep your thoughts to yourself.
