First and foremost – a new interface – I decided to dump my old homebrew stuff and switch to WordPress. This will allow for comments, some additional stuff, and make my management job easier, so that I can concentrate on the writing.

A note about comment moderation: while this site allows (and encourages) comments, they are moderated, and comments will not appear until one of the site admins clears it. If you feel that this violates your personal rights, note that you don’t have any here, so please leave all N.O.I.S.E. at the doorstep.

If you disagree with something I wrote, try and post a comment that is non-abusive, factual, and shows a certain level of intelligence. Criticism is cool, abusive or “you are wrong because I am right” type comments are not.

Even if you do everything right, your comment may not make it to the light of day, which could be for reasons ranging from technical issues to my simply not liking you.

New stuff should be appearing here, soon!

As part of the agreement, I have agreed to “lag” my articles online by a month, which means that my articles that appear in DataQuest will appear only a month later on this site. This is a fair enough.

The other piece of good news is that all this gave me a major incentive to write even more, and there are lots of new articles queued up for publication.

I will be writing about mobility (handheld computing, wireless), Open Source (from the corporate perspective) and technologies that I perceive to be important. If you have any suggestions for topics you think I should cover, please let me know.

The best part of all this is: I am again working with Prasanto Kumar Roy as my editor – the guy who got me started with writing more than a decade ago.
