Destealthing...

After a year of radio silence I am back to blogging. What happened in those 12 months? Well, mostly I have been coding. Lots and lots of coding. The result you will see soon when we launch Perzonae.

When you are concentrating on the design, the architecture, the code, the bugs, there is little time to write a blog, the stuff that fills your day is usually not interesting for anyone else.

Now that I am emerging from this process, I will write more often.

In the past year there were several times something happened in the new that I had a strong opinion on, however I did not blog about it. Why? In these days, even in the west, governments take an increasingly dim view of non-mainstream opinions. In the current climate a misunderstanding about my intentions when blogging could hurt my life and business more than I expect my blog would improve it and the life of those around me. So I chose the path of caution. I find this a very worrying trend where freedom of speech is limited by petty civil servants and politicians and the harm they can cause.
I dub it the non-free-west. This is definitely food for thought...
