And this is my blog. People who know me will call me a traitor, as I’ve been maintaining a passionate aversion against everything that is a “hype” on the net and life in general.

A blog is, amongst way too many things, todays buzzword. Everyone has one. You don’t need to know how a website works. All you have to do is go to <my_favourite_blogtool>.com and click the web 2.0 (there’s another one!) designed download button and you’re halfway there.

It’s part jealousy and part envy that I must share with autodidact developers. We learn the languages of the web to know how things work, why they work, and when they work best.

Nowadays all you need is have a random thought popping up in your head and “blog about it”. Your friends will visit your “website” on their daily browsing routine, leave some comments, and voila: you have yourself your very own community.

And yet here I am, writing a blogpost. Why?  Coz it’s fun!

I can leave my many webprojects aside for a bit …
Not worry about whether that PHP script I wrote is vulnerable to SQL injections.
Not worry whether my CSS class will show correctly in all modern browser.
Not worry whether I’ve optimised that page enough for SEO purposes.

Just ramble on about things that bother me. Things that surprise me. Even things I find fun (there must be a few).

So if you’re up for it, bare with me. And enjoy “Just another Wordpress blog”.
