Things I've written that have amused other people, Episode 2

In our internal blogging discussion mailing list, somebody asked, “How do you guys manage your blogs? I mean stuff like revising old posts, managing links, categories, etc.”

My reply:

What specific sort of “management” activities are you trying to do? Typically, once you post an entry that’s the end of it. You don’t manage a blog so much as keep feeding it.

For some reason, people got a kick out of that last sentence.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
