What this blog was like when it began...

1389 is my nom de guerre, and I am the editor of this blog. I am an IT professional, living in the in the U.S., with thirty years' experience, mostly on IBM mainframes.

I am blogging my thoughts, impressions, and concerns, as well as tech tips and news, mostly from my mobile phone. The phone is a Sanyo SCP-7000, text-only at this time.

This blog will address some technical matters, along with anything else that seems interesting or useful.

There are frequent posts from other authors who have been invited to participate.

If you are wondering why this blog uses such a spare and simple design, it's because it allows this blog's website URL to be used from both a conventional browser and a mobile phone or PDA. That means you can navigate, read, and post comments on blog entries from your mobile device. It avoids the need to build a separate mobile interface. If the main blog page were to have graphics, scroll boxes, or other trimmings, it would require much more memory, and it might also require features that are not implemented on all mobile devices.
