Starting a fifth...
Published on 17th January 2011 Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutesWhile it is difficult to believe the passage of time sometimes, there are events that provide the occasional reminder. The fourth birthday of this outpost on the web is but a small representative of the genre. An initially frenetic posting rate slowed over time and new entries appear on here when there is something to share rather than trying to work to a schedule. That went by the wayside a good while ago...
Over the years, appearances have changed, but the same raison d'être remains: to share useful snippets regarding the digital technology that pervades this age. Sometimes, these are things that I need to store for my own future reference, yet there are others that I scarcely have seen elsewhere. Even with the power of Google or Bing, it can be challenging to track down the knowledge that you need these days, so that's why I keep on adding to the collection of material that you find on here.
All in all, we seem to be in a time of major upheaval. During the past year, I had one of my own; the result was a change of job and place of work. However, there are many more momentous ones than that, with plenty to be seen in the world of technology. Digital photography is taken for granted nowadays, with the next likely battle between DSLR's and compact system cameras. Then, there's the increasing mobility of computing and the increasingly clever packaging of diminutive yet powerful devices. It appears that everything is all change, so that may bring me more things about which to write on here. 2011 may become an interesting, if very challenging year ahead.
