The Spring semester at SFU is off to a running start (after a day lost to the snow), and I’ve already got some homework to do!  One of the classes I’m taking is a course titled “Writing for Computer Scientists”. The goal is to develop writing skills through practice. Lots and lots of practice :).

Each class (3 times a week), we’re required to submit some “writing”.  I use quotes simply to emphasize the freedom of this assignment.  All I have to do is write a single word, and turn it in each week.  Of course, that’s not really the point of the assignment ;).  One option, provided by the professor, is simply to start a blog (if you don’t already have one) and post 2-3 entries per week.  Given that I already have a blog which I have had trouble maintaining, I figure this is a good kick in the behind to get myself blogging again. 

So, I’ll hopefully be blogging more often (at least while my grades depend on it :D).  I’ll probably stick to the current subject of the blog: observations from an open-source developer on the Microsoft ASP.Net platform.  Just in case I start to wander to different topics, I’ll make sure to tag appropriately, so my normal readers can subscribe just to the posts they’re interested in.

It’s time to start blogging for fun and profit grades!
