Some sort of disclaimer/context:

I normally spend about 15 minutes writing a blog post, as that constraint allows me to post a few times per week. This means that it is likely that there will be misspellings and other grammatical errors from time to time. Also, this means I’m not trying to provide a consistent theory of everything with every post. I obviously don’t blog about company information that I’ve learnt under the assumption that I should keep it confidential.
