I suppose somewhere, anywhere is the best place. Bare with me while I get this hang of this. With help and encouragement from by boss to start blogging, I figure I might as well give it a go. It’s almost a requirement of my job (I should probably double check the contract) to involve myself in such a phenomenon and once I do get into it I hope this will become a bit of a playground for me to further my CSS skills (or lack of, as it seems to be for now) and mash up the currently sparse bits and pieces of my personality, scattered throughout the web.
There’s no particular topic or style I’m going for as yet, more than anything this blog will probably document my effort of finding things to be interested in and passionate about, related to my work and otherwise. After four years at Uni I’ve stepped out and just been blown away by everything that I don’t know, and even more so by what I’m not even aware of. The first few months out I had a “break” to recuperate and observe all that I had somehow missed during the previous 12 months while studying and writing an honours thesis. I took my time, half-heartedly job searching to keep my financiers (read:parents) happy but thinking there was no way I could stay in the area and get a great job at the same time.
Then, almost accidentally due to a little personal networking, I applied for a position at Omnidrive and was hired as a developer in the Australian office, close to home and not mind-numbingly dull, but more about all that later. The past 3 months I’ve been working here my eyes have been blown wide open and I’m becoming more and more aware of what I don’t know, but more importantly, I’m being shown where to look to find out all sorts of things. So if nothing else (though I’m sure this wont be the case) right now my curiosity is being well and truly fed.
No promises about frequency or quality of postings for the time being, but I’ll be trying to amuse myself and in the process hopefully amuse or entertain anyone wishing to read my shiny new blog. Till next time…
