Abstract

This is a Meta-post about the new quickie format of posting.

Body

I’ve decided to create what I call “quickies” because my full length tutorials tend to be rather verbose and in-consumable. What you’ll see in a quickie is a one line summary about the quickie aptly titled the abstract, a prerequisite section with links to the required packages, and a concise body with just enough to fully explain the topic. Obviously quoting of code might make things a little longer but the goal is to keep each post to about a page.

Hey there,

So I’ve decided to create a technology based blog. What is the purpose? The primary reason is to have a record of the things that I learn and know so that I will always be able to reference them. Pretty straightforward idea, and what better place to do it than somewhere I can access from just about anywhere in the world? The second reason is to have a body of work to point to as evidence of my talent. Some ancillary benefits include: helping people find solutions to technical problems, gaining a little visibility in the software development world, getting suggestions for ways I could improve some of the things I design, and maybe some day getting a few leads for consulting.

Comments are always welcome.
