Occasionally I get a ping via e-mail asking why I chose notgartner.com, especially since I don't seem to have any content relating to that much quoted resource.

Well, I figured I might change that since the Gartner weblog has been trickle feeding us the 2004 predictions for a little while now and without a doubt these little perls of wisdom, will be quoted back to me over the next twelve months.

I don't really have a major issue with Gartner, but you have to admit some of their material reads a little bit like a horoscope in that the content seems that vague get strangely relevant quality. Sometimes I think you can get alot of value by taking your developer talent out to lunch for a bit of a chinwag.
