blogging policies
Just spent two hours at work clicking through mandatory annual policies compliance trainings.
Like last year or two years before, one of the topics was what kind of stuff I can and what I cannot post in my personal blog. So far I think I was complying :)... But there is one thing I have not noticed before: my understanding was that I am not allowed to post anything - no confidential technical or marketing details, and nothing about my colleagues.
The later appeared to be not completely true... Of course I am not allowed to post my colleagues pictures and and jobs details. But what I can do without violating anything is to invent a pseudonyms for my boss and colleagues and post about any social interactions! The only issue with that would be that there is nothing interesting happening.
What is really cool about work is not office politics (I don't notice any), but technical details of inner working of CPUs and platforms. Unfortunately checking what is public and what is not it is usually time consuming, so I will continue posting technical stuff which is either trivial or unrelated to my work.
