outbreak

I want this blog to become a place where I can openly rant about stuff I don’t like (in hope it gets better), expose the stuff I do like (but seems to be hidden). I am also going to write about things I’m interested in and projects I do. First and foremost this will become my own personal resource for everything that comes my way and anything that I create in the process.This means that all my side projects like the infamous SortedTable will soon be merge into the blog. On a sidenote, there is a new version of the script in preparation with a few requested improvements. There’s already a to-do list for version 0.9.

As soon as I hack the WordPress to exclude a category from all the feeds I’ll start another separate feed called blurps that will hopefully contain many posts per day and be a sort of a link dump mashed up with little comments, annoyances or any other small piece of worthy information. Worthy to me and maybe others.

You probably noticed that it’s all going to be in English. Slovenia is just to small and this is also a good way to improve on my language skills.

Any comments are wellcome, especially good ones. Your expectations if any might be considered. Can’t promise anything else.

The decision was hard. I was never a writer who could re-read his own works. So having a blog or a personal webpage has never been an option. I had a few personal pages, but all of them were created out of the need to explore paths previously unknown. The explorer in me could never back down from a challenge. To see something I didn’t know how to achieve was too riddling and to welcoming. Many have suffered during these crusades -family, friends, exams.

A friend of mine once said, that he is doing what he’s doing because he likes it and he needs it. If there are others who share that feeling it’s a plus, a success. We often want the people around us to like what we’re doing. I wanted people to say I’m good at what I’m doing. And then one thay I stopped. Nobody knew what I was doing anyways. Everybody understands good grades but almost nobody understands why an HTML is good. Or for that matter almost any other thing I did in the past few years. Even when you find somebody that understands what you’re doing you’ll see that the views of “good” might be so different it’s hard to say which “good” is better. Mine, of course. I know, I’m being pretentious.

I think the time has come to grow up. To be able to read what I wrote and honestly say – this is crap. I need to improve.
