10 bloggy years

10 years ago today, this happened



Well, I'm still here.   827 post later, the blog remains.  There are actually 880 posts in total, but there are some posts that I just write to get things off my chest and don't post.  Various reasons, of course. 
When I started this thing, my intention was to join a chorus of others dedicated to spreading their knowledge and experiences.  Being social.  All before the time of tweets and Facebooks.  I'm happy with what it has accomplished over the years.  I've met some wonderful people from all of the world.  Many of which I consider good friends. I've spoke at user groups and Lotusphere thanks to this blog.  As of late, the blog has gotten a little quieter.  I don't post as often as I did.  Again, various reasons.  I'm more tied up with photography now then I am with worrying about email after the day job is done.  But, this blog remains.  And it will. I will try to post things when they come up.  Often though when I think of something, I usually Tweet or Facebook it rather then write a story for here.  I may just start updating this as more a life journal then a blog dedicated to the IBM technology that is a part of my life in my day job.  Don't know.  But, I want to thank you for stopping by here. 
If you've ever gotten something from this site that has helped you in your day job, then it served its purpose.  But for now, it's back to work.

Seven years in cyberspace, my Bloggerversary.

Seven years ago today, I wrote this:

Greetings. My name is Andy, and I will be your host into my psyche. So please, sit back, relax, and enjoy what I have to say.
Well, after 766 posts, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  My posts have gotten better I think.  Well, at least the grammar has I hope.  And, I hope I've been able to give back to a community that has given me so much over the past years.  The main reason I got into blogging, especially about Lotus, was to give back.
So here's hoping to many more collaborative years.  With how far it's come since I started, I can't wait to see what the next seven years holds.
