Reasons to start blogging

Posted: 07:46 24.11.2008 GMT+1

No reasons

There are no real reasons1 to start blogging. People read the blog of person A because people are interested in hearing the opinion of person A, one way or another, through articles, interviews or blog posts.

person A matters => a lot of people are reading Person A's blog

But the reverse isn't necessarily true... But it also ain't necessarily false. But I am not the kind of guy that clings to that narrow possiblity. I also find this Product mildy amusing. :-)

The only reason I blog is to document my C++ hackery and coding thoughts in a more straightforward way in order to keep this homepage alive. I also don't expect comments or heavy traffic.

Rejuvenating my python scripts

I had to install Python 2.6, docutils (snapshot) and the sandbox snapshots to get the whole page creation scripts (documented here) running again. At that point I realized the setup.py installation process in python is actually pretty cool. Yeah.

Basically, I added comments to my articles and created a folder called blog. That's about it, I probably only need a bit more python scripting to create a javascript date calendar and more sensible navigation (date based) but that's about it.

Ok, hmm... RSS feed, tagging and cloud-tags for articles... No way. I ain't got time right now.
