Lisa Williams is at Berkman talking about blog policies. She says they're important and useful to have before they become necessary. So here's mine:

  1. I write about the Free software I write (frassle, this blogging system), various more and less nerdy things that interest me, and my life as a geek in Boston. Don't get all uppity about it, if that's even possible.
  2. Blogs (comments) that are spam will be deleted without notice.
  3. I do not speak for my employer (Kronos Incorporated).
  4. I make minor spelling, grammar, formatting, and link corrections to posts without notice. Changes that significantly affect the meaning of a post are either clearly separated from the original post as an addendum, or are their own post.
  5. I hope you'll correct me and share your insight after listening to what I say.
  6. I screw up.
  7. You're welcome to quote or otherwise make use of material I post here. It's probably best for you to link to me when you do that, but it's not required.
  8. I don't get paid; I'm a little guy. But if I were paid by anyone for writing anything here, it will be obvious.
  9. I try to do the right thing and if you're unhappy about my blog, or about other frassle content, you can always contact me and I will try honestly to resolve the situation to your and my satisfaction.
