Introduction
I’m taking Brent Ozar’s (Blog | @BrentO | SQLPeople) suggestion regarding my ramble-rant about the software business. At the Spring 2011 DevConnections Conference in Orlando, I had an opportunity to sit down with Brent for a good long chat. One of the first things he said to me was “You need to put up a landing page for your ramble-rant!” When Brent gives me advice about blogging, I listen.
I will update this page as I post new parts to the series and include a link to this post in future post introductions.

The only downside is I’m going to update this post when I write the next post. I will include a link which – if clicked – will yield a page not found error of some sort. That behavior will remain until the post actually goes live, and then the link will take you to the page and post without error. I understand that may be disconcerting, so I will include the date and time the post will go live and I’ll add italics to those posts. I’m not going to return to this page the instant the posts go live to remove the date-time stamp or the italics. I will update the page when I write the next installment.
Cool?
