About me and this blog
Tags:
Ok, technically speaking my first post from last week was just a placeholder when I was sure no one would find my blog. But somehow Julian the web stalker (he's become a little shady since he started frequenting seedy places in Spain) DID find it, and he leaked it out to a few others. I forgave him because the leak did result in some tips which I shall employ here in my first meaningful post.
Wild Bill suggested I structure this as follows...
- Who am I
You probably already know I'm a consultant and speaker on Lotus software. Maybe we've met; for me, that's the best part of presenting at conferences! I've been designing Notes and web apps for 14 years, often in the role of making slow stuff run faster. I went from a huge consulting firm, to a small one, to starting my own 12 years ago. I'm one of the guys who runs MartinScott Consulting.
- What do I do
My time is split between consulting, managing gigs for others, product management, and fumbling with marketing and sales. I spend my non-working time learning how to play guitar (which I keep right next to my desk), exercising, learning new things from my 4 and 6 year olds, and laughing and traveling with my ex-Loti wife.
- What I'm interested in
Professionally, I'm into the Notes Client, performance, anything cool, and out-of-the-box approaches to common development challenges. I love home A/V and projection theater equipment. I'm a casual fitness buff and like playing sports more than watching them on TV. I love touring small towns in Italy (<-- Domino site developed 10 years ago), kicking back on Caribbean beaches, and trying languages new to me.
- What I'll try to blog about
Mostly, I'll go after topics of interest to techies in the Lotus community. There are so many nuggets of info on how to make something work faster in Domino, and a blog sounds like a great way to learn, share, and discuss them. Often, information technology feels as satisfying as conducting an orchestra. But other days IT feels like nothing more than switching 0's and 1's, so I'll probably occasionally go off on topics of entertainment, society, nature, and health. Go with it, I'll tie it all in, I promise. Another helpful blogger Franziska advised me to let things evolve and "ignore your audience", so -- I think I get what she means -- but don't take offense if I ignore you
