Inner Drive Software

The Inner Drive Extensible Architecture, our extensible framework, got some needed maintenance recently as we started integrating it into a new product we're developing for January release. I'll come back to the product from time to time, but for now I've updated the partial SDK we've had online for a while. Any comments, criticisms, or even kudos, are appreciated.

A one-hour flight delay makes the $7 fee for WiFi access at O'Hare almost worth it. Almost. Because I'd rather be in the airplane on the way to VSLive, one of the two major Microsoft-oriented development conferences. (The other is, of course, PDC; next one, October 2007 in L.A..)

I hope to have interesting things to write this week. If not, I'll just post archival puppy photos on my other blog.

Even though I just launched this blog today, there are entries that precede today's. This is because this blog is really a branch from my personal blog, and I've moved some postings from the old blog to this one.

That is all.

Both of my blogs are now up: the Inner Drive Software blog, in which I will write about matters of professional interest (i.e., software, computers, security, and business); and The Daily Parker, in which I talk about nearly everything else.

All of this required upgrading dasBlog on my servers, figuring out which theme to use, customizing the themes, and configuring the blogs. Despite my initial experience with dasBlog when I first started using it, I think the current version (1.9) is really quite slick and usable. Good work, Newtelligence AG.

I shall now do something completely different, like play with the dog.

I'm David Braverman, and this is my professional blog.

For nearly the past year, I've had a personal blog that included postings about software development and running a software company. Sadly for me, most of the people who regularly read the Daily Parker have no interest in software. This caused two things to happen:

• Whenever I posted something about software, none of the blog readers would read it; and
• This, in turn, discouraged me from writing about software.

The Inner Drive Software blog, therefore, will have two or three posts every week about software development, programming languages, things that Inner Drive Technology is doing (both public and not-so-public), and the software products that we're developing over there.

I welcome comments and suggestions, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
