Currently, I have not linked my blog anywhere, and I avoid creating too much outgoing links. The blog is public and nobody is aware of it. I had even planned to blog at a hidden – fully private – blog for a while, although my postings are not that confidential.

Reasons being:

• I am using this blog rather as my personal notebook and to some extent as a to do list. I am in the process of making some fundamental changes to my personal and professional life, and these notes help me keeping on track.
• So far, I have always been a blog-sceptic, very much like this (This seems a bit irrational to me now, as my existing – technically non-blog – websites had been rather blog-like). I need sort of an evaluation period to find out if I can convince myself of the advantages of blogging, versus the occasional updates of technically static websites.
• I need to work out exactly what the major purpose and goal of this blog should be. I really enjoy that I do not need to have a business plan and a forecast that will be benchmarked against in the future.

Thus expect a lot of navel-gazing and posting tagged with About in the next week.
