There are a lot of reasons why I have been remiss in my writings - and one reason why I'm finally getting back to it, so I'll deal with the one reason. Somebody called me to discuss my consulting with them on a new web publication for professionals in the local area, and possibly to do a monthly column. This got my juices flowing and caused me to review what I've done in the past as well as think about topics for the future.

Another reason I'm back at it is that I've just spent 3 days helping a long time customer with some system problems and several of the problems suggested topics for publication. I've been away from writing for so long that I have a lot of pent-up ideas and need to write to get them off my chest.

I'm really going to try to keep at it this time, I promise!

This month I take a look back at an article from the beginning of the Digital Rag in Progressions. There is also the start of a series on the Basic Internet. I hope you enjoy.
