Reviving This Blog
IFE after 30 and a life after a doctorate degree is a tad mysterious. No longer is there the feeling of growing more mature and getting in better shape. No longer is there an aspiration to advance intellectually or academically (full professorship can be take many years to earn compared to a doctorate), so what it all comes down to is what good men (and women) sometimes refer to as “settling down”, reassuring themselves that whatever has been achieved can be looked backed at with foresight involving future generations.
Last week I decided to blog a little more about philosophy and a plethora of topics other than my job and my hobby (notably Techrights). The reason is, a lot can be said which was already implied before (e.g. the need to abolish software patents), but unless one diversifies the areas of one’s focus, it will get repetitive and dull. In the coming month I shall try to revive this blog, which used to attract a lot more readers back in 2005-2007 when I wrote in it on a daily basis. In a way, this is a sort of new year’s resolution.
