Announcing a new blog….

One Hoopy Frood is pretty much a potpourri of many things. The main gist of what I write about could be summed up as “Whatever Bill Finds Interesting At This Point In Time”. Sometimes it has to do with Movies or TV. Sometimes with some cool piece of code that I’m hacking around with. Other times it may just be a recap of some cool things that I recenlty did. Basically, this blog has no focus.

I decided that I wanted to work on a more focused blog. That is how Hexadecimal came along. In it I will be writing about anything and everything that has to do with being a profession software developer. My plan is to update it once a week. Unless people start providing me with ideas to talk about, most of it is going to be driven by whatever I am working on at work at that given point in time. I’m looking to make Hexadecimal understandable by anyone. Basically I am writing it for a general audiance so everyone can get a taste of what it is like to be a Software Developer.

You can watch TV to find out about the life of lawers, crime scene investigators, and doctors; but you have nowhere to go to to find out about the life of computer programmers. Until now.
