First!!

By rui barreiros • March 14, 2008

Hello,

There has to be a first post right, then, I got this huge lack of imagination over what I should write and started checking around some blogs, trying to read they’re first post as curiosity.

It’s interesting to see the similar stuff in first posts and how they are directly related to the blogger work and or interests, for example, most of the IT workers (developers, programmers, sys admins, etc) usually keep it simple, they just stick to the ‘Hey this is the first post’ and move on to say something about how or what kind of software they used in the blog, so, I’m not going to be different and follow this rule.

This is WordPress, plain and simple. I could (in fact I was) write a simple, to my liking blog in Symfony (which is what I use mainly for web developing) but in the end, it gave me more work than I intended. I just want to get a blog running, where I can rant away or just stick some random words as I feel like without much hassle. In the middle of my regular work and the usual gaming, the task of making the blog to my liking ended up in an impossible task, therefore i just installed WordPress, converted the theme I had in mind for my blog to WordPress, installed some useful plug ins and here we are.

After the IT presentation that I did, I should of announce a to-do list for this blog as it seems usual in the IT related bloggers. Well, to be honest, there isn’t much I’m adding or thinking of adding with the exception of some kind of spam prevention on the comments, I saw a nice plug-in without the need of captchas called WP Captcha Free (name says it all), probably I’m going to install it after this post, apart from that, nothing more IT related going to be done at the moment here, apart from displaying some projects I might be involved with, but no really super duper impressive feature is planned.

For all the blogs I found that are not related to IT in any way, be it humour blogs or personal etc, the first post comes down basically to a small presentation of the blogger, could be the exact same thing anyone write in the about page of they’re blog, so, since I don’t have an about page in my blog, I’ll leave you guys with the always present sidebar ‘about’ snippet. It doesn’t tell much about me, but then, it tells what I want you guys to know, if I wanted to make my life an open book for everyone, I would probably be an Hollywood or a rock star :)

Time to wrap it up, there’s nothing else to add, at least that I can remember at the moment, it’s almost 8am, haven’t slept yet (yes, working all night) and I really need a nap.
