Welcome to PaulMcKibben.com, and welcome also to my blog. I envision this blog as a place for me to post various thoughts and opinions on software engineering, the software industry, the telecommunications industry, open-source software, and technology in general. I intend to keep this blog related to my professional life--I have another blog for my "unprofessional" life, called Running Through Life, which chronicles my trials, tribulations, and small victories as I train for marathons and try to lead a balanced life. As for this whole site, I intend for it to be a place for me to try stuff. For example, right now I'm trying to use Drupal to manage my content in this site. It's a big experiment, and I may decide to move to something completely different later.
