The Site:
The philosophy behind TechBlog is simple: Write about and review current technologies in a clear and easy to read manner.
Although it was initially created to serve as an online reference of technical writings and research, TechBlog has become a space where ideas are born, bounce around in open discussions, eventually getting refined, and finally incorporated into a larger theoretical framework.
Many of the articles start out as extensions of the author’s personal interests, which can vary quite dramatically from day to day. Mostly, this site serves as a creative outlet for developing thoughts and working out new theoretical scenarios.
Topics covered throughout this site include: new media, web programming, copyright, linux, microsoft, certification, research, security, and wordpress.
TechBlog first went online: Sun, 22/05/2005.
It is the official blog for Touchbasic Networks.

[Note: This page is still a work in progress. It took over 6 months to get this much out, so you’d think everything that needs to be said would be accounted for. Nevertheless, some aspects of this site are still taking shape and are by definition: very difficult to put into writing. Still, it’s definitely better than the vague, sparsely scattered 5 sentences that were living here up until now.]
