Hello and Welcome
Written on Wed, 4 May 2016Hello!
It's my first blogpost in a very long time. But this time round, it is hosted on my very own site. It's my own domain, my own server, and my own application. No, I'm not using Wordpress or Joomla. Although they are great softwares, I decided to write my very own. Why? Because this is who I am.
I'm sure most of you who know me, know that I write my own programmes. I live and breathe technology. (Not really but you know what I mean)
When I first started doing websites, I started by using my own blog. It all started with simple HTML. Then CSS. Then Javascript. Back then, there wasn't any fancy HTML5 we have today. It was just plain HTML4.01.
Today, I still want to carry on with that method of learning. By writing my own blog. But this time round, it's up another level. Many levels actually. For example, I am practically administrating the linux that runs this site, administrating the hardware-related things like LVM, administrating the LAMP stack, the website statistics, the PHP that made this site work. To say that I have grown in knowledge, I would say that is an understatement. I've leveled up! Yet at the same time, it's merely the tip of the iceberg.
My pursuit in technology has increased my curiosity. I'm not satisfied with what I know. I want to know more. Yet there is a certain danger to that. Knowledge in itself isn't useful if it isn't applied, in many cases. What I want to do, is to bring value to the society with whatever I know. After all, the society does not reward individuals for what they know, but for what they contribute to the society.
In the following months, I'm going to take all my spare time to develop more applications for everyone to use. This blog will be quite a general site that features mostly me, my views, and my tech adventures. I'll be regularly improving the aesthetic and the functionalities of this blog.
