This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate.
This blog holds over 12 years of archived content - during that time, I may have changed my opinion of something, technology will have advanced (and old "best standards" may no longer be the case), my technology "know how" has improved etc etc - it would probably take me a considerable amount of time to update all the archival entries: and defeat the point of keeping them anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey and "caveat emptor".
