Who on earth would care about anything I have to say?

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!
