Blogs

I've become keener on blogging recently, perhaps because of my increasing cynicism about academic publishing. I now prefer to write things that some people might read rather than academic papers that are added to a CV then largely forgotten.

Ian's foodie blog
Mostly reviews of restaurants that I have visited but other occasional comments about food and drink related stuff

General comments about software and systems engineering. Originally intended to support my book on software engineering but it has become a more general blog where I comment on computer-sciency things.

Common sense (I hope) on cloud computing. I started this in conjunction with our project on migrating high-value software products to the cloud. Essentially a reaction to the blogs by cloud providers who hype the benefits of the cloud.

I also blog my photography projects.

As a project, I set myself the challenge of publishing 1 food-related photo per day for a year. Started in January 2011.  Photos are also on flickr.
