About
Why did I first do this blog?
The thing is, I tend to work on lots of different technology between work and personal hobbies. Thus I have a tendency to forget how to solve some of the problems I encountered. So a blog seemed appropriate to use as a Notepad. It is hosted on a separate server, easily searchable and accessible through web because the site is not filtered by companies (yet).
What it has/will become
The blog is going to end up as being a presentation of what I do, what I work(ed) on even what I like. Users will be able to see documents about some of my projects, my resume (once I hacked WordPress to do it the way I want it to work) and things like that.
Why not a Facebook / Linkdin or equivalent page?
Simply because I see no reason to actually put private information on the internet. I ll try to find the quote about the locus thingy of The Big Bang Theory, i think it applied very well to social networks.
One has a very hard time controlling information once it is on a social network, especially when even if you ask them to completely remove yourself from their database they only render the data private and they do not actually delete it from their databases, archives and all.
Why a blog then
?
Because I actually possess the server, the database and as such I can delete the site at any moment and the only leftover will be cache in search engines.
So I guess this covers the About me page topic
