In most conversations, when I use the Underpants Gnomes reference I get blank stares. It’s truly sad.
So, when I saw that Gartner analyst Lydia Leong makes reference to their master plan in a recent blog post about Sun buying Q-Layer I couldn’t help but feel happy. (Possibly happier than I should have been… I’ll have to think about that.)
Strangely, the gnomes’ master plan inspires me to think about this blog. (See image below if you’re not familiar.) I haven’t had much direction here. I honestly didn’t know what the blog was for, just using it as an outlet for whatever random thoughts I wanted to develop. This has fit into my idea of the blog’s audience just fine, because I assume there is essentially no readership. (Except for my mother, of course, God bless her.)
Well, in the very near future I’m going to change that. I intend to split the current queuefull blog into two parts, one of which will stay behind at this location while the other is moved to my personal website. The point is to allow queuefull blog to focus on technology such as networking, cloud computing, web and the Internet, etc, by giving me a new place to take my personal ravings… er, thoughts.
I also intend to loosen my standards for posting to my personal blog while increasing my standards for writing on queuefull blog. One might consider this a negative thing, considering that my most recent post here was about 3 months ago. But, as part of my 2009 new year’s resolution, I am setting a goal of posting at least one article here each week. Not just a fluff post to meet my quota, but a considered and meaningful article.
The goal is simple: I’d like to make a blog that is useful to a readership. It’s about helping others, establishing community, and (frankly) pushing myself to be more consistent about reaching goals.
We will have to see if I’m successful. My track record suggests failure. But that’s no reason to stop me trying.
In the meantime, if you read this blog and/or would like to read the queuefull blog that I described above, please let me know what kind of articles would be useful or interesting to you. If you would like to write articles about IT technology, in particular about tech infrastructure, please let me know. I’m open to any input; the more we know the better the odds of success.
Until then, ponder this:
