For me, the hardest part of doing any task seemingly is to start doing it. I hate beginning a big and daunting task. Especially so when so many people are so far ahead you feel you’ll never catch up. I’m starting to feel that way with pingpulse, a project in it’s infancy thrown right into the arena with all the bigshots. I’m drawing motivation from my own weblog, remembering the time I was trying to start posting and fixing so many xmlrpc issues. I still remember hunting endlessly for the theme that felt just right.
Sniff… So many memories, so many phases each reflecting my own life. The wannabe humor page, the teen-angst phase (I’m almost 20. yay!), the wannabe-tech phase, and all boiling down to the personal insight phase at which it rests right now. I hope it stays here as I kinda like it where it’s at. I’ve stopped chasing visitors and trying to make friends via the internet.
I owe a lot to this weblog. I learnt php and CSS through this, and learnt a lot about building and deploying websites, as I hope to start doing soon. I can also publicly announce things like “I’m gonna start using rss as I need to keep in touch with the news now” (I should, come to think of it).
This is one of the few projects I’ve stuck to and updated as regular as I do things. Sure they’ve been dry spells but there’s enough stuff to read up in the archives if you’re interested. I think I’ll do just that. It’s fun to know what kind of stuff you wrote some months back, and that’ll be the best part. If three years down the line I could read what I used to write (Of course I’d go “What the fu*k was I thinking back then?”) the way I always do when I glance upon something written by myself in the past.
The main reason this happens is because I don’t decide what to write, I just think it and the fingers do the typing and I’m gifted with a very high typing speed and can touchtype effortlessly now. And there’s also the fact that I deviate from the topic severely as I’ve been doing so right now, and this will be among the hardest challenges I’ll have to face, writing focused, and hard hitting articles.
I haven’t decided yet wether I’ll write serious, hard hitting articles, or just weblog about the latest news, or should I stick to doing some kind of satire or sarcasm related stuff which I Specialize in? Anyways, only time will tell.
