Greetings to everyone out there in K2 land.  My name is David Loomis and I am a consultant/architect for K2.  I travel North America helping our customers design & implement projects with [blackpearl].   I spend a lot of time on the road, thus the title “blacktop”.   Actually, I spend a more time on the airport tarmac than on the road, but that just doesn’t work with our “black” theme.

For a long time I didn’t want to write a blog because I was afraid I wouldn’t have anything interesting to say.  However, after searching the web and reading several blogs, I can safely conclude that having something interesting to say is not necessarily a prerequisite.  Also, my boss pretty much made it a requirement to write one.

So here’s my plan.  As I go from customer to customer, I see some common questions people have when first starting out with [blackpearl].   We’ll cover those.  I also run into some typical business process requirements that others might also want to see how to implement.  Along the way I run across other interesting tips and observations I’ll share with you.  If you have something that interests you, please send me a note through this site.  I’m going to evaluate requests based on whether they are applicable to a large audience.  Don’t be offended if I don’t publish your question as not everyone may have an interest in automating the breeding selection for Tasmanian Yaks.

In short, it’s my blog, and I’ll end up writing about whatever I feel like.  I don’t have every answer, and you won’t always agree with the ones I do have.  There are many different ways to accomplish tasks in [blackpearl], and that’s one of the things I love about it.  And make no mistake, I love working with [blackpearl].
