About half the company here is addicted to twitter, including the CEO
heh. We are encouraged to blog too, but not at the expense of
chargeable hours (we are a services company). So generally I will only
blog quick tips and workarounds -- posts I can write in 20 mins or
less -- during the day. I do jot notes all the time for bigger posts,
but I fill them out and publish them at home.

In terms of content, I never post client's code or names or concepts
directly. They always get renamed to something different - metaphors
to the same effect. This is not a company policy, but I think it's
good blogging etiquette -- I would hate to think if some stakeholder I
am working with types my name into Google and finds his app being used
as an example of poor code or something.

I'm using pomodoro so I'll open up twitter and email during my 5/15 minute breaks. Usually I don't blog at the office unless I have something that can't wait....
