John was dead-on with his “so much meat” remark. Being new to the blogging game, I’ve found that the most challenging part is cutting all the excess fat and boiling down arguments to a digestible size. Randall does an excellent job of doing just that, and it always makes his stuff a great read.

Keep up the good work fellas.

As it happens I’m a computer programmer too and am up all hours writing in C++, Java, or Basic (at the moment doing a lot of Borland C++ Builder coding but about to do some Access Basic and Java as well). When I ought to be programming I end up going out looking for stuff to write about on the various subjects that interest me. Do I sleep? Yes, but probably not enough. I never turn off my computers and run each browser instance for weeks at a time. I always have articles loaded up waiting to be read in Mozilla Firebird browser tabs.

I really appreciate your compliment. I have no idea what most of my readers think of what I write about. I really do try to come up with original angles on the subjects I cover. I figure there are already plenty of blogs reporting on the most popular news of the moment and I don’t see the sense of blogging unless I can do something different by drawing attention to information that does not get the attention it deserves.
