The famous first-post

And then I started blogging. Well, at least I intend to. I guess the future will tell if the first post should have been rewritten to something like ‘And then I blogged. Once.’

So why start blogging? I really don’t know for sure. I’ve been told, that every developer should have a blog, but I’m kind of glad that not everybody have. Well, think about it. Think about all the crazy hits you would get on google for instance.

So if I’m not sure why I should blog, do I know what I will blog about? At least I think I know. It has to be about what I do, and what I do most, is programming. I have been programming delphi for a living for about ten years, now, and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. It’s not impossible that I would like to share some of what I have learned these years, and it’s quite likeable that I will share something about what I’m trying to learn, or what I would really like to learn in the future.

For instance, right now, I have a personal goal to become a certified .net developer before the summer. I’m not sure that this will work out for me yet, cause the spring is coming along, and there are a lot more to learn. But we will see. Hopefully I will come through knowing a lot more about .net then I used to either way.

And then there is reading. I love to read. I just need something to put my eyes on whenever it’s time for it. I’m a slow reader, though, so a book can last for weeks. I read mostly tech books, but from time to time I sneak in some fiction. What ever it is, maybe I will share my thoughts about it here when I’m finished?

And that leads to a significant reason for having a blog. Have you ever encountered a competition or price offering demanding a reference to your blog? ‘All you got to do, is mention us on your blog, and give us the link, and we will offer you great prices’. Expect to see a lot of mentioning in the feature…

So beside programming and books, there may be some other things that I want to share. It may be something oriented towards technology, or it may be something about one of my other hobbies, e.g. photography. Or my family. We will see.
