Random thoughts

So, I’m sitting in front of my desk, my left leg is cramping (I had to hit Merriam Webster for that) as I’m practically sitting on it, in front of me, there are my Engineering Math’s notes, I have to study a couple of useless shit (really, it’s even less useful than knowing random trivia on Star Trek) and I haven’t started to study.

My poor blog was left alone for two months, more or less. Honestly, I haven’t had time, or what I should be saying, I haven’t had time to organize my time and do everything I want.

The Square Nine team was a mess. Almost no one has published anything in three months of existence. About a month ago, I desisted too. I’ll take it again, but certainly not now. In a week, perhaps.

Also, I’m not feeling quite well. I feel hungry all the time and I haven’t slept well (Am I pregnant?? Hell. I’m a guy. Phew…)  I just saw Isabel’s blog “Fue un café” and she wrote a very similar situation. So, she kind of served as inspiration for me to blog. Again.

I really miss this things. It’s unbelievably entertaining to blog, and when a good posts makes it past the huge wall of the blogosphere, after a storm of visitors, anyone feels invincible. I loved that feeling.

I’m in the need of help here. I really have to organize my life. My bedroom’s been a mess for over three weeks. My HDD is also a mess, in all Ubuntu, Windoze, and documents partitions. Also, my media library became a mess after I lent that disk to a random guy who managed very well to break it. That’s why I had to suspend my media library posts.

I don’t know why I’m actually writing this. I guess I really need to clear my mind, before starting again. If I’m succesfull in this week’s goal, restructuring completely this mess, then I’ll blog about it. I really want to. I miss it.

Hell. It’s easier to stop smoking than to keep organized. Time to move.

Crossroads

Heaven knows why I published some of my last posts. I had a nice amount of pending draftts, so I kind of… just wrote and wrote without thinking much, to catch on again. Anyway, this post is only a brainstorm that i want to be in my frontpage, so I’ll know what (in reality) I have to do.

1. On a previous post, I already said that I’ll be posting a guide on making and tagging good MP3 files. This post will be published in parts in the next days.
2. I’m planning another how-to with Ubuntu. I don’t really know when will this be posted, as the new distro is bound to pop-up somewhere in April.
3. I love photography, and I have a huge amount of photographies from my last 5 years. I have almost the same amount of photos as music. I want to publish a way to organize them they it should be.
4. My personal tribute to a heroine, Gina Trapani, from Lifehacker. I remember that I enjoyed a long time ago reading her posts about productivity, and I actually did some of the small projects published there. I’ll say what, how and when too.
5. More hate and stupid posts are coming, of course…

I don’t know what else I’ll be posting, but one thing’s for sure. I’ll start with that little how-to on music soon.

A Meaning for the Meaningless

I’ve just read my first post in this blog. Honestly it was, QUITE crappy. I just started writing and writing, without a purpose. I just wanted a small introduction for my new blog, so I wrote anything that came across my mind.  So I guess I should actually write about what I want to do with this blog.

First of all, I want this to be a personal blog. There are lots of things that I had to do in the last few years that I could never find, anywhere, so I want to publish the solution to some problems I found. Also, I would like to publish “How-To” texts. Doing everything by yourself can teach you quite some things, and having a guide can be really helpful.

I absolutely love music. I have in mind one or two tutorials I want to write, which I’ll publish here. Actually, they are one of the main reasons I’m writing in this blog.

I like a lot the Tags and Categories system of WordPress. They are a very neat way of keeping a blog organized. I’ll be using them a lot, each post will have tags about the specific topic I’m writing, and I’ll use the categories to be able to manage everything as if I was writing in a book, where each category will be a new chapter. I’ll make this blog the first updateable book.

Also, I’d like to have a full log of what I do to this blog, so I’ll also have a category for the Blog’s changes, and ideas that pop up. I want to do this, because in previews blogs I’ve had, I’ve always ended with lots of meaningless posts without a decent place to be. I really want to have an organized blog. That’s one of the main reasons I chose WordPress.

I try to publish often. I really enjoy writing, also, I’m practicing my writing skills and english by doing it, so after all, this won’t be worthless. I guess I’ll just start writing, and then I’ll see what happens.

The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

Ok, once again, I’m here, sitting in front of the computer, without even thinking what am I going to say. Just as the last time, I’m listening electronic music (Future Pop) writing in WordPress’ Interface. I really like it I must say, it excellent features, such as the Auto-Save, Tags, Categories, and so many other things.

After this small introduction, I’ll move on to the purpose of this blog.
I’ve had so many other blogs through my life. I beggan with a MSN Space which I really enjoyed. I used to write about computer mods I did, with photos of them. Then I switched to Blogger, because I wanted a better platform, which was full-featured.

I didn’t stayed for long though, Blogger’s main engine was optimized, and many things were lost, along with my posts about modding and my personal life. I reopened my blog, but it was obvious for me, that my blog was long gone.

I need to start again, but this time, I wanted something I really liked. Not a simple blog which could store my posts, I wanted, something with good graphics, with an aestethic look, which was quick to use, but it had good features.

That was, when I came across WordPress.

Since the very moment I saw it in action, I decided I wanted one. I started looking information, everywhere I could. I started experimenting with PHP in my Kurobox (A small Linux server)

I really loved it, but it was a huge problem to host it in my house, mainly because of bandwith problems. I finally decided it would be much better if I got an account directly at WordPress.com, so I got the account, and now I’m starting to write.

I’ll be honest, I don’t have a clear idea about what I want to write about. I guess I’ll just let the ideas get out of my mind, and see what happens.

Sure thing, I’ve blocked out now. I’m starting to check I have just written. I think I’m publishing this post, and I’ll come back later to keep on writing. I’ve got to think in all the stuff I want to write about.
