Reading my customer's blogs
This blog is predominantly a personal site, I rarely mention my work, though I do subscribe to a few blogs run by customers of the company I work for.
Scott has recently discovered that a few of us are reading his blog. I concur with the general comments from Lindsay, Gord and Stilbert that we all read his blog to keep in touch with our customer base, know our market, etc. It's extremely useful for there to be conduits between the developers and the users.
Anyway, the reason for this post is to giggle about the way in which Scott discovered the subscribers from my work. He is doing reverse IP address lookups from his site access logs.
SCOTT! Get comments happening on your blog and as well as unsolicited offers for viagra and weight loss programs, you are likely to get feedback from lurkers such as myself.
I apologize to my regular social readers, I won't be infecting my blog with worky stuff again.

Get him involved in HNT. LORD KNOWS WE'RE LACKING IN THOSE SORT OF POSTS FROM DOWN THERE THESE DAYS!!!
Oh, did I say that out loud??? ;)
Relax, there's supposed to be another double act coming up later today from me. Problem with double acts, they require more planning, but I've still got 9 hours and 45 minutes of Thurs left. :-)
Ha Ha!
Ian likes work, nyah nyah ne nyah nyah.
(Sorry. Very juvenile, I know...)
Ian:
I had comments working before, but as I run my own server and my blog software was not particularly secure, I got a bazillion automated comment spams, enough to pretty much choke my little server. I had to disable them until I could fix my blog software.
Fixing my blog software turns out to require a lot of work, which I haven't got time to deal with at the moment, but rest assured, it's on the to do list. In the mean time, no comments for you!
:-) figured as much! I'll have to let my coding do the talking..
