Things to look out for in 2008Web 2.0, MySQL and the Semantic Web

Personal @ 17 December 2007

Hello everybody,

Its been a while since I did a personal blog post. This is because of my new job, becoming a technology evangelist means that I’ll be making more and more “techie” posts. My blog has always been “a personal, spiritual, technological, business and academic blog” (hey it even says something like that in the title bar).

So I have two options, either:

  • Continue doing things on the same blog… and trust people use the categories if they want to filter
  • Have two blogs, one for the technology stuff and one for the personal stuff

Thinking about it, with a bit of modification to wordpress I could probably have one blog with two RSS feeds. That way people that use feed readers will be able to pick up the feed they want… but anyway thats a technical thing again.

So. Until I work out what to do. Personal news about me:

I’m currently recovering from some type of throat infection which put me through bad back and neck pains during Friday and Saturday. Other than that I am quite happy. I’ve been little bit stressed at times, which is a little unlike me, but I’ve started to handle it better now.

I am enjoying my new job at OpenLink, its a great company, with some cool software and even cooler philosophy about the Semantic Web and future of the Web. My boss (Kingsley) is a nice guy too. The job is quite different from my previous jobs, but it actually involves doing things which I was trying to do in my spare time anyway: evangelising the semantic web, trying to get people to talk about web technologies, furthering semantic web technology etc etc (I even started doing talks out of my own interest!).

Beki and I are still madly in love, and may that never be extinguished :-) We went to see Starlight Express on Saturday evening at the Oxford New Theatre. It was a fantastic show, we both enjoyed it muchly. It was Bekis Christmas present.

Beki is ok, apart from
