Blogging and Intellectual Property

Do blogs you post using the company's machine and its network to your own personal blog become the company's?  We know that all emails that go out or comes in through the company's mail server is candidate for company's review at will.  That doesn't mean that the email you compose becomes the property of the company's or does it?

Although the post in itself may not be susceptible to this precarious situation, I am wondering whether the ideas or the code snippets contained within the post might.

What do you think?

Something just went *click*...

Upon reading Udi Dahan's post, something clicked in my head.

I've been in a O/R mapping funk lately and could not clearly work through some of the dilemmas and I may have just figured it out.

Really. It's just a report on data - a read-only report: notice the "get me" and "show me" at the beginning. At that exact point in time, I just want to show some kind of report to the user, I don't need behavior filled domain objects. To tell you the truth, almost anything I show to the user doesn't need to be immediately backed by a domain object. Should the user choose to edit one of the customers, or add another category the product falls under, right then and there I'll go and get the ONLY domain object I need, and use it.

Really.  It's all very simple.  I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before...
