Robert Small, The blog thereof.

This is what I like to call a new shoes post. It’s a post to state that I’m in office as owner and blogger. This is going to be a strange site for me as it’s the first time that I’m doing something about me, with the exception of the odd social site profile. It’s my personal soap box, my little platform in front of the crowds; and I’m still getting used to this.

It’s strange, when I first started with the internet I never thought anyone would care about me, about what I had to say and wanted to tell them. For several years I was quite correct, I was simply another nobody on the ‘net, we all start that way. With the success of the V8d Project and my interaction with various FOSS (Free Open Source Software) projects I became something of a leader to some people, those who know me well will probably agree that I both enjoy and hate this role. People have since started to ask me questions about various things, mostly of social context; this brought me to realise that some of you might just be interested in listening to the inane ramblings of a young man.

I do not only intend to use this as my personal and private soap box; I also have plans to use it for releasing information about new project and ventures, various milestones in projects I’m connected to and anything else I see fit. With this I would like to make the qualifying statement that my views are not the collective views of the company or any project mentioned. So, if you’re interested in having a personal insight on my plans and my hopes for various things then please continue reading.

I am (or at least pretend to be) a busy man; I can’t promise you a daily blog, I can’t promise you a changelog of everything I do to BottleCap or any other project. I will do what I can to give you something interesting to read about on a weekly basis, I may even let other people blog here too so they can provide something for you to read as well. Failing that there’s a wikipedia, if you’re bored on the internet then you just haven’t discovered much of it yet.

So, that’s the end of the new shoes post. Kind regards, Robert.
