From back when (we)blogs started I had considered writing one. That thought didn’t last too long when I saw what rubbish most people wrote, and considered what pearls of wisdom I had to offer the Internet community (in short, not much). I consider blogs to be like a diary – documentation about point-in-time thoughts or actions rather than being for procedures, reviews, etc.
From time to time I have reconsidered and come away with the same answer as above, even when my brother asked me to set up a blog on his website. I’ve generally preferred to document stuff on a wiki, as that seems a more logical way to organise and provide my information for people.
Sometimes, however, there have been times when I’ve considered the best software or hardware to use for something (eg what mobile ‘phone to get), or noted down a procedure thinking it was a one-off .. and then, months or more later I’ve wondered why I made that particular decision.
This is the reason I am starting this blog .. for me as a personal reference. If others gain use from it (aside from abusers) then fine.
Let’s see where this takes me …
