First Post

Ok, so this is really nothing new.

I tried it before ... starting blogs using English as the default, but I can't really wrap my head around, since I'm still learning it. But I feel the need to express myself in ways that the whole world can hear ... not that it really matters, but it's nice thinking about the powers that be of online publishing, and getting people to hear you is a powerful freedom.

This blog will describe my personal journey of being a better programmer and a better person, a journey of self-discovery and fun.

Who am I?
I'm still trying to find out, but until then I posted a lame description on my homepage.

Since I can hardly restrain myself to write about useful things, I did some thinking, and these are the things that I want to talk about:
  • programming languages
  • interesting algorithms
  • compiler theory
  • usability and accessibility
  • personal projects
  • constructive criticism of software
  • open source
  • beauties discovered in my life
What this blog will NOT contain:
  • reiteration of industry news without personal opinions
  • open source/free software advocacy
  • flames
  • commercials
  • unconfirmed rumors
  • advices for matters in which I'm clueless
Also, to have high quality articles I am hereby stating that each article will benefit from a three day incubation period, in which I'll try to harass one of my friends in reading it.

Ok, here we go ...
