I had a read of our external site about blogging<\/a> this evening. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re interested in blogging, and want to see an example of a positive corporate attitude towards it. I especially enjoyed looking through some of the profiles of other IBM bloggers, seeing why they do it, and what they think they get out of it.<\/p>\n

Although I’ve been reading blogs for a year or two now, I’m still fairly new to blogging myself. I’m kinda enjoying it – I think it’s a useful thing to be able to reflect on something that you’ve done at the end of each day. It’s a little frustrating that the nature of my job means that it’s sometimes difficult to write about it here. I work in a technical support job for WebSphere MQ<\/a> – investigating customer problems and providing advice, support, and code fixes for our corporate customers. Essentially, I get to solve puzzles – the customer describes a problem they are facing, invariably with one or more key pieces missing. My job is to work out what they are, and – as geeky as it sounds – this can be a lot of fun. And more than once, I’ve wanted to be able to write about something I’ve worked on here. But, describing problems faced by customers in a public forum would hardly be fair.<\/p>\n
