Dale’s Personal Blog

Writing has been one of my passions for many years, and as an IT industry analyst, I am lucky enough to be able to pursue this interest and get paid for it. From time to time, however, there things I get the urge to write about that have nothing to do with my work, and it is primarily for this reason that I have created this blog.

A secondary motive is to provide a mechanism for broadcasting occasional updates to friends, family, colleagues and business acquaintances on stuff that is going on with me that they may find relevant or interesting. While I am not at all into the ‘open declarative living’ phenomenon encouraged by social media sites such Facebook, MySpace, etc, and indeed worry for many who throw privacy to the wind though these, there are occasions when it is useful to publish personal information in an easily accessible manner.

For the avoidance of doubt, however, I am a big user of social media for professional purposes, so if you are into IT, feel free to check me out on LinkedIn, Twitter and via my other blog, Open Reasoning.
