About

My name is Mark Miller. I am a software applications developer who has worked professionally in the field for 7 years. I have worked in C, C++, C#, and VB.Net, on MS-DOS, Unix, Windows 3.11, Win32, and ASP.Net platforms, creating custom applications for business and non-profits. These are my musings on what interests me in technology.

As you’ll notice from my postings, I’ve had a particular focus on Squeak (Smalltalk), Seaside (a web framework for Squeak), and what Alan Kay has been up to.

Comments Policy

I really appreciate comments to my posts, however there are some guidelines I feel I need to make clear. I will apply these on a case by case basis.

If a comment is totally off topic (ie. not even tangential to what’s being discussed) I will delete it. Please make your comments and any links you include in your messages have some relevance to what’s being talked about.

I reserve the right to remove website links (entered in the “Website” box of a comment) from comments if they link to sites that appear to be totally or mostly commercial, have no discernable non-commercial content, and in addition have no relevance to what’s being discussed. To me this is as bad as posting spam. This isn’t to say that any time you include a link in a comment it should be non-commercial. You may include commercial links in your messages if they are relevant to the discussion.

If you have a homepage that talks about what you’re up to, your hobbies, etc., or have a blog where you talk about current events, your interests, etc., feel free to put it in the “Website” box of your comment. In this case it doesn’t have to be relevant to the discussion. I’m not going to be a stickler if you have a few ads on your site either.

In short what I’m trying to prevent are people putting links on my blog that go to pages full of ads and hardly anything but ads that have no redeeming value other than trying to generate revenue from page views, clicks, etc. If you’re not doing that then you have nothing to worry about. If you’re the owner of a site such as what I describe, feel free to post a comment, but please leave off the link to your website.

I think this will work out. I reserve the right to change this policy at any time. If I do, I’ll let you know.

Thanks.
