Well this is my first blog after resisting the pressure to succumb to the phenomenon that is blogging. I've always thought, "who on earth would care about anything I have to say", in fact I'm 99% sure that no one other than me has read this very message.
So what's the point?
Well as a professional software developer I come across many scenarios which involve researching and prototyping solutions to problems. In the years I have been doing this a lot of this information has been lost to me as I do indeed have a brain like a sieve. It was only after partaking in one of these learning exercises that a colleague suggested to me that I should document what I had achieved in a blog. At first I was resistant but his reasoning was irrefutable, a blog can be like a personal database of tips and tricks that is much easier to query than my frazzled mind.
So here we are, I now have a blog.
p.s. What has really surprised me whilst writing this is the fact that "blog" is NOT in Chrome's spell-checker!
