Hello world!

Posted on   November 19th, 2009

This is it. This will be my last try to get serious and maintain a blog… once and for all. As usual, I’m in good spirits and full of hope at the starting point of a blog. I have every honest intention to address a wide variety of subjects here, most frequently technology-related stuff: software, computers, architectures, and so forth. I’ll try to follow step by step Chris Wanstrath valuable advices (or poisoned tips) at his speech on RailsConf 09′.

I must admit I feel ordinary using English as my official blog’s language, specially given the fact that it is by no manner of means my own neither one I grew up using. As most folks in the western world, I’ve been taught to learn it “if I want to be something in life”. Specially if you’re working in a field like mine, Software Engineering, you are told one day after the other to forget about your own cultural community, things are invented in English and everything will be cooler just by naming it in English, it doesn’t matter if you can’t even spell it right. Your own culture and language are useless when it comes to work. Use english! Google stuff up IN ENGLISH (I swear that was the amendment my teacher of PXC gave us last week). As much as I completely disagree with this unfortunately world spread dogma, and keep fighting it in my ordinary life, and keep working and coding everything in CATALAN, my language, I will use my blog to reach other places, if I may. Specially to get to my mates overseas or somewhere around Europe.

All being said, I hope you like the stuff I’ll write from now on
(not that I care much if you don’t… besides, as defunkt rightly said in his conference, no one will read this first post anyway)

Well, it seems Chris Wanstrath was wrong: someone is reading it! Maybe i’m the only one… for now.

Your first subscriber,
Jordi

By the way, tell *us* about Cloud Computing / Virtualization…

Thank you!

i’d be more interested on what you tell us. I’m sure you’ve got much more to tell people on that field.

It’s certain though that I’m amazed by this stuff lately. it’s a field with outstanding achievements to come, if not yet here
