I’ve made a couple of fairly significant changes to the organization of my weblog over the past few days. First of all, I’ve replaced the smattering of categories I used to have with only two: Progeny and Intervues. RSS feeds for both, containing both brief excerpts and full HTML of each post, are at left. The Progeny category holds everything related to my work at Progeny, which generally used to fall into the categories “commoditization of software”, “emerging platforms”, and “linux and open source”. In the future, I’ll be blogging more about my work on Componentized Linux here, as well as my work on the related projects hosted at http://platform.progeny.com/.

I’ll leave the Intervues category unexplained for now. Suffice to say, for now, I’ve spent an enormous amount of time thinking about the personal knowledge management problem over the past several years (mostly as a result of personal, and painful, experience), and I’ve long had designs for a software system to tackle this problem sketched out on scraps of paper, and have even implemented bits and pieces in fits and starts. (Hint: This was originally part of an executive summary I was writing for a business plan.) I figured the best way to spur myself into action on this front would be to let the cat out of the bag here. After all, that strategy worked out pretty well last time.
