Recently Vincent decided come clean and face the inevitable, he’s just not a blogger. I strongly disagree about that, but agree that it’s pretty difficult to be an amateur tech blogger. (I’d also argue that it’s just one of his phases.) Tech blogging is frustrating. The rumor mill is totally out of hand. Services have [...]
Newsflash!… Last month, I’ve tried to relaunch Tech IT Easy, by writing on it several times a week. I love writing and, if I were getting paid enough for it, I’d do it all the time. But that is not the way the world works. When we started Tech IT Easy, most of us were [...]
I don’t know what to write about yet, perhaps the co-relation between blogging and ideas. I attempted a similar post last week, and restricted it mostly to differing learning styles. In short, some people (me) learn as they write, some as they hear, some as they see, some as they speak. As a human being, [...]
I think a value should always be weighed against the value of not having it, particularly when it’s hard to put a numerical value on something. This something is clearly Facebook and even more clearly Twitter, which still doesn’t compute for 100%. Why I love Twitter would be like saying why I love my dog [...]
I live in a funny world. My company, which is composed of several disciplines in the manufacturing, industrial design, and, yes, programming space, is one factor. I sometimes see people screw together contraptions in our workshop, and I see coders banging away at their PCs and Macs, and I wonder what the hell I am [...]
Dear everyone, I am extremely happy to start off this new year by introducing a fresh face on Tech IT Easy, Anand Kishore Raju, who will be blogging with us in 2010. His main areas of focus as a blogger will be greening the internet, carbon footprints, energy and power figures of the internet and [...]
As formal as Address sounds, it’s not meant to be. Just a small reminder that we are still here, more exemplified perhaps by the inverted correlation between blogging and doing great things (P.S. Many of us can be followed on Twitter, which doesn’t appear to have that problem). Yes, we have all been busy doing [...]
On my trip to Africa the most inspiring thing that happened to me happened on my last day, on the Nairobi international airport. It was still couple of hours before the flight would start to board but we were already at the gate. And next to us was sitting Phil. I don’t know if he’s [...]
We’re all stupid busy and it sucks. Tech IT Easy was started under the guise of studenthood which does not in any real way reflect “professionalhood.” 10-hour days are not uncommon in my line of work and it doesn’t leave much space for reflection–the real currency of writing. So here’s what I propose. form a [...]
bye bye bye (for now)
where I write about how the process blogging and that of business are incompatible.
Like some of you might know or notice, we recently moved from WordPress.com’s blog hosting to our self-hosted version (for hardcore fans, this is the second time this blog has moved). As good web citizens, we here at Tech IT Easy believe in sharing information, so here’s how we did our migration. There are couple [...]
First of all, Paris was great! For three days, Jeremy (Fain, founder of Tech IT Easy & Verteego.com) drove me crazy in a good way, by mapping out every single minute of my life. Similarly to how we met up in Barcelona, it was a great way to get to know the city and at [...]
You may have noticed that I sign my name below my posts on tech it easy. The reason is that when we first started guest writing on this, Jeremy Fain’s blog, he asked us to write a small introduction before each post, a habit which we later abandoned. I miss the practice, but what I [...]
I’m pretty disappointed in the readers of tech it easy—you can comment on the light stuff, what doesn’t really matter, but you won’t on the things that do. It makes me re-evaluate the value of blogging. I’m about to engage on a journey, which I know will take me away from blogging for some time. [...]
