Hackdiary

A new experience today: I’ve done my first bit of paid writing. It’s about del.icio.us again, and it’s on xml.com.

It’s an expanded version of two previous posts previously made to hackdiary. It goes into a little more detail about how the code works, and gives more examples. There’s also more analysis, and more of an introduction for the uninitiated.

It’s a bit weird reading my text on another site after it’s been edited by someone else. I’ve never been entirely comfortable with the written word; I’m more of a face-to-face person, and I think better out loud than at a keyboard. When I started posting on this site, one of my goals was to get used enough to writing that I’d feel able to tackle articles, conference papers and the like. It’s good to be getting somewhere with that.
