Oh, that's just a side effect of the way the work is distributed :D I'm hired to maintain our core libraries and general C++ stuff, and I write most of the blog articles, so it's about the problems I face in my everday work.

We should blog more about the other stuff. For example, we've implemented a pretty cool lossless compression scheme for the preview of powerpoint slides in search, and have acquiried a cool technology to search for existing slides by drawing a sketch of their layout. But the people working on that are too busy to blog about them...
