Almost half a year has gone by since the most recent entry, also the temporal distance between the second- and third- newest entries has been very long, and — last but not least — only a small portion of all Blog entries are of direct and immediate software engineering concern; most of the Blog’s entries are more or less trade- or commerce-political comments. The working software engineer or computer programmer can hardly learn anything from those types of entries; throughout the Blog there is almost no discussion of new software engineering techniques, almost no discussion of new useful CASE tools or programming languages, etc.
It’s a pity
I’m guessing that the South African software engineering “community” is probably too small in numbers, such that the “critical mass” is not achieved which would be needed for a communicative “chain reaction” in an online forum such as this one.
