“I want to be someone who’s so creative and interesting that I just have to blog it out, but there’s so much poker on TV…”

I’ve changed the look of the site, and I’m going to try to blog more often (yeah, right).

It seems that comments can be left, but not viewed under my preferred layout. I’m working on this — will let us all know when it’s better.

(And, as a side note, I got my first comment today. Woo-hoo. And not even from someone I know. Yeah, baby.)

Update: Comments are back. I’m slowly feeling a little studlier about my ability to edit WordPress themes.

After about two weeks, I finally have the layout of this site looking (I think) good. I swear — I won’t tweak it any more just to put off actually writing something. Instead, I will procrastinate by playing video games.

There has been a big hoo-hah recently over blogging in the workplace and what people should and shouldn’t say about their jobs in their blogs. You will find nothing here about my place of employment. Why not? Simple. This site is accessible to anyone, including my co-workers and my bosses. Will any of them read it? Probably not. Is there a chance that they will? Yes.

It’s not like I’m going to be anonymous if they find this site — they’re not going to spend too much time wondering which of their employees is writing at jtgrimes.com. Best not to bring up anything (too) work related. I may say “my company is interviewing and too many people are being stupid about X.” I may say “coding standards at my work are pretty loose.” I will not say “I work with a bunch of poopie-heads and the people running the company are dumber than a box of rocks.” I won’t say it because it’s not true and I won’t say it because even if it were true, it would be stupid to say.

For similar reasons, we won’t find anything personal about my family and friends here. I don’t know who’s reading what, but I’m not going to embarass anyone. It’s just more hassle than it’s worth.
