Rejuvenating this blog

Those in the know will already be aware that I earn (a small) part of my living from blogging over at www.ecalpemos.org, a blog that has no particular theme, but for some reason has individual articles that do well enough in Google search results to generate reasonable amounts of traffic and Adsense revenue.

The success of my main blog has meant that this blog - gordonhudson.com - which was meant to reflect my business and professional interests has failed to come to very much. Well, this is hopefully going to change. A couple of events have caused me to come out of my shell a bit:

• I have sold my holdings in Ultraspeed which has released me from any confidentiality or non compete clauses in the contract enforced when I sold them Hostroute.com Ltd in 2008. The original clauses had long since expired anyway, but I still felt a moral obligation not to advise or do work for any competitors while I had money tied up in the business. Now that I don't I feel much happier commenting on and being involved in Internet industry issues.
• I am taking part in a Common Purpose course and it has been suggested that participants blog about issues raised during it (subject to Chatham House rules).

To start the process I am going to start posting business and civic society material over here and keep my other blog for my musical activities and more controversial material.
