I started this blog in 2006 as a personal experiment. Since then, this blog has morphed into a combination of a breaking news source and a wide-ranging reference library. Over the years, I've deliberately established an editorial policy of ensuring that we break EBS techstack news to you in real-time, free of hype and unvarnished by marketing considerations. It now includes contributions from almost thirty guest authors. We've collectively published about 800 articles, fielded over 5,200 comments, and handled countless emails from readers. We get millions of pageviews per year, and there are over a million incoming links to our published articles. This blog's success has been an object lesson in how a small, personal experiment can take on a life of its own. I still manage this blog in my free time, mostly, but it now lives in an odd grey area somewhere between my official job responsibilities and a personal project. Things are about to change I fully understand the importance of this site to you. Unfortunately, there are major changes underway that will dramatically affect this blog. I am working with our executive management team to investigate options for preserving both our ability to get breaking news to you as well as preserving the reference library functions that you've come to rely upon. In the meantime, I'm saddened to report that this blog is on hiatus. We won't be publishing new articles or announcements. Comments have been frozen. This is temporary, but I don't have a date yet when we'll get back into our normal swing of things. Stay tuned. I'll post more updates here as soon as possible.
