My 1st Post

July 12th, 2008

And then there was light!

Considering that I want to eventually create websites, it’s pretty sad that it took me 3 days to complete wordpress’ 5 minute installation. Well anyways, I guess I have a lot to learn. I already have some ideas in regards to websites that I want to eventually start working on. I won’t talk about them until I get a better handle on this programming thing.

So why this blog? Well there’s really little you can do with only an elementary knowledge of web programming. In my eyes, it’s much better to have that basic framework (this blog) and learn from there. The blog managing program that I’m using, wordpress, is an open source program, meaning that all the code that is used is transparent and editable. From now until the time I leave for Asia (Aug 25), I will be messing around with this blog and learning PHP and MySQL to get this blog to where I want it to be. Eventually I’ll translate my newfound knowledge into creating something cool on the web, which I’ll keep you guys up to date with.

As for the content of this blog, I’m going to try to keep these posts succinct and interesting. I’ll refrain from talking about the trivialities of my life and instead focus on interesting human experiments, the development and application of my programming skills, and some other interesting articles and reviews. I’ll try to keep the posts short enough as to not drag on and bore, but long enough as to have meaningful content. Hopefully I’ll be able to bust out 3-5 of these badboys a week. Enjoy!
