You may wonder why I chose to title my blog “Off the Beaten Path.” The main reason is due to where I choose to live and operate my small software development company,
Hebb Micro. Rather than relocate to a larger metropolitan area, I prefer to remain in a small rural community (Parrsboro). I find that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, both at a professional and personal level. Some of my best thinking comes while riding my mountain bike on the surrounding quiet roads - it's amazing what 25Km of clean fresh air will do for your frame of mind. A secondary reason for the name it that sometimes my ideas may be contrary to “the beaten path”, so I thought the name appropriate.
