Introduction

Finally, a chance to expand my ego!

No, seriously, I usually have lots of vague, abstract ideas about things, and blogging will probably force me to turn them into less vague, more concrete ones. My hope is that the results will exhibit some kind of conceptual integrity (see Brooks, "The Mythical Man-Month"), hence the name of the blog. If some of it turns out to be worth reading, that’s even better!

The main topic of the blog will be software, but I’m sure there’ll be a few posts on music (but not much from the last two centuries), books, science, technology, and perhaps even philosophy.

I work as Chief System Architect at a telecom company called Caine Technologies, Stockholm, Sweden, but what I’ll be writing here won’t be very much connected to my work. At least not directly. And I’ll try to keep my private life out of this blog.

Welcome!
