So, last week I mentioned that something… interesting had happened, which resulted in me ceasing to post on here for a little while.

Well, it wasn’t anything major - but it has made me reconsider just how private this blog really isn’t.  I suppose it shouldn’t be a suprise - there’s actually a suprising number of people (to me, anyway) hitting this site… Whether you’re actually reading or not - I’m not certain. But, anyway - apparently some of you do.

I’m a regular participant on Whirlpool’s Forums, for the most part in the Coding & Web section.  Mostly I’m helping (or trying to help) point people in the right direction - or putting up some sample code to solve a problem if appropriate.

Anyway, last week apparently someone from a recruiting company noticed me, and followed the links back through to this blog. From there, they decided to contact me and let me know about a certain position that was being advertised, through their employer. 

So, this is what got me re-thinking about what I was posting, what I was saying, and what kind of impact that could have upon future employment opportunities, etc. 

But, well… I’ve decided I’m not going to change my posting habits. If I find something I think is interesting, I’ll post a link to it. If I’ve got something which I want to rant about, I’m going to rant about it.  One thing I don’t do is post inappropriate comments about my employer.   Don’t like it? Well, tough.

PS: No, I didn’t apply for the position. (They needed experience with some software which I hadn’t touched before). Oh, and to “S”, if you read this - Thanks for the email, really - but it was a bit of a shock to the system to get your email, and read how you’d found me.
