a long time.

[Benoit Chesneau]

This is my first write since a long time.

I'm not a fan of blogs as you may know. But I saw the tweet of Noah
Slater [1] last day and found this idea of personal mailing list
really entertaining. Posting my writes as a mail to a mailing-list so
anyone that want to follow have to subscribe. It may be more
interactive. Also it's like the good old day where rather than
following anonymously a post from an rss feed, people were subscribing
to the mailing-list they were interested in. It's a personal mailing-
list, but also a closer contact with readers.

I'm not sure I will stay on googlegroups, like usual I'm thinking to
write my own tool storing posts and other stuff in CouchDB allowing
anyone to fork any content, and add it's own value. Something like
erlang-smtp [2] or http://github.com/Vagabond/gen_smtp [3] (the last
probably) will help me to achieve that.

So what this personal mailing-list will be about?

When I'm doing talks in english or in french I always introduce myself
as a web craftsman. For the definition of a web craftsman I invite you
to watch the slides of Joshua Porter, "On being a web craftsman" [4].
I have always been a web craftsman. Always independent, founding my
own companies and having my way to work. I'm not a coder by essence, I
even do marketing and management studies. But one sure thing I always
be interested in Information and the way you can (re-) use it, share
it, publish it. Computer are a perfect way to do all of this these
days and even if I still read a lot, I don't think that books are the
best way to spread information around the world, read "A Canticle for
Leibowitz" from Walter M. Miller Jr [4], if you want to be convince
(there are other books).

So what this personal mailing-list will be about? Everything around
information and what interest me in (so mostly around Information),
technologies, books, links, .theory... The work I do obviously, and
work of other.

More soon.
