Ground Rules

Now that the blog is up and running and I have introduced myself, it is time to set up some ground rules. These rules are are to let everyone know how I am going to operate and what to expect. Don’t worry, these rules are easy to follow and entertaining to read. 😉

Rule 1: I suck at spelling and grammar!

Its a pretty self explanatory rule. I don’t have an English degree. I don’t want to be a writer. This blog is not meant to be a shining example of the English language. This is a stream of consciousness from my brain to the web. There are bound to be spelling mistakes and grammar mishaps. If I find them, I will do my best to correct them but it is not my top priority. So if you find a mistake, by all means let me know but I don’t want any critiques of my writing in the comments or via email.

Rule 2: This blog is not a democracy!

While I plan on being open to hear anyone’s opinion on subjects discussed on this blog I want to make is abundantly clear that this is not a democracy. I am the ruler of this site. Try to think of me as a benevolent dictator. You are free to express yourself until I deem that you have crossed the line. I am a pretty lenient and open minded person so you have to push me pretty far for me to take action. Think about that before posting your comment.

Rule 3: I am not a genius and I make mistakes!

This rule corresponds to the first rule a little bit. I will be posting technical content, such as code snippets, scripts, how-tos, etc and occasionally there will be times when the how-to is wrong or the script has a bug in it. I do not consider myself to be an expert in what I do but rather a perpetual learner. I love to learn new things and as I learn them, I want to pass my experience on to others that want to learn. That is the primary reason for this blog. If I do make a mistake, realize that I am only human and will do my best to fix the problem. If you do find a problem with a piece of code or a how-to please let me know so I can fix it and others can benefit from your find. And with anything I release the warranty is use at your own risk and I am not responsible for anything that happens.

There you have it! Those are the simple ground rules for my blog. Chances are I will never have to enforce these rules but its nice to write them down just in case. Stay tuned for more in the coming days and weeks!
