What is this blog for?


I am often asked if I have a blog, and up until now the answer to that has always been yes but there is nothing on it. I guess after having it for getting on 4 years, it is about time I actually put something on it.

So..... What do I intend to put on here?
Good question....

Well primarily I intend to use it as a place to put some of my tutorials and such like, some of them have disappeared over time when sites have moved or databases have crashed. I will also use it as a place where I can put information that I would like to refer to from anywhere in the world, but have it all in one place, kind of a one stop shop for all those tid-bits of information that help me.
There is also another reason that has been brought to the fore quite recently, and that is the subject of plagiarism. Many of the tutorials and other things I have written over the years have been copied almost verbatim and put on other sites, which has been rather annoying.
So how will putting them on here help with that?
It’s simple really; the problem with publishing things on other people’s sites is that you cannot always prove who the author was or when it was published. So by having this blog to which only I post to, I can not only prove it was me that published it but also exactly when it was published. This will then help me prove that I was indeed the original author of the work should such a time as it is needed arise again.

Please don’t expect me to post anything ground-breaking or life changing here as it’s not likely to happen, but with any luck you may find something here of interest in the future.
