I blog mainly so that people (friends, relatives, and project members) know what I've been doing lately. I also use my blog sometimes as personal organizer, and a place to put my bookmarks. Sometimes bits and pieces of code, tutorials, etc... some people find it useful you know. Exercise in self-gratification? That's your opinion. But people write because they want to, it's their space, it's their life, and it's their business. :) Cheers, -- Jan Alonzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
