A year from now you may wish you had started today.

Guy Kawasaki is one of the many inspirational figures that I have come to know thanks to the blogosphere, and he started blogging late! So I don't feel I'm in bad company being a late blogger.
The best writing is rewriting.
~ E. B. White
Well, then maybe the best start is a restart. This is not my first blog but it feels like it is. Back when I was a kid I toyed with an MSN Space, but in my defence that was way back in, er, early 2005.
As so many blogs, my previous blogging turned out to result in mere collections of (more or less lame) rants and raves about this and that: consequently this activity quickly lost its attraction to me. I'm always more interested in producing, and less in rehashing or mere consumption. My goal for this blog is to present in writing the best thoughts and ideas I am capable of producing at the time of posting.
Expect a low-frequency, high-altitude journal on only those issues that I find to be truly exceptional, inspirational or insightful. Main topics covered will include the business of software, bootstrapping a software start-up, and developing smarter software technologies. I will talk about past, present and future projects of mine (sometimes probably a tat programming-related), and about interesting projects elsewhere.
