As with any really good computer-stylee thing in the world, I’m beginning this web blog with my “Hello World” post.
So what exactly will I be doing in this blog? Well, to be honest, nothing that you can’t find by trouncing around the web for hours, weeks, months etc. anyways. I’ll just be playing my own little position on the world from where I see it. So I guess I should provide some information about myself, my interests and my works; makes it easy for you to consider whether or not you’d like to actually bookmark it.
I’m 21 years old, currently at the University of Central Lancashire doing a BA (Hons.) Business Information Systems with Japanese degree. Strange eh? From next month (September-July 2008) I’ll be in Chiba at Kanda Daigaku doing my year abroad there. Miscellaneous pictures etc. will make themselves apparent on here so that my friends and family can keep up with what’s going on.
I have some wierd and interesting hobbies, as well as some cool things that I’m going to write about. For instance, one of my hobbies is checking out software. You’ll be able to check out what’s best of the free software out there to do this, that and the other. I know, what a geek huh?
Also I enjoy music, Japanese language, computer programming, and I’m something of a philomath. I love cooking, and want to learn to do some gardening. I’d love to grow my own herbs and veg, and raise chickens for eggs. I do play guitar, albeit terribly, and don’t have the worst voice in the world, but I’d never look into a career in music. Trust me, if you heard it, you’d agree. I have an interest in it though, as well as to a certain extent in art (though not bothered about some of it). I guess I’m just a generalist really.
I read a lot of books, and tell tales, write stories and some poetry too. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a selection of all the creative things I do on here. I enjoy fantasy, but I have some skill with writing for older children. In terms of computing, as a user, there’s not much I can’t do really to be honest. When it comes to development though, I am the most newbie noob you’ll meet. So as I’m going through this, you’ll see how I’m progressing with my programs.
I LOVE making things! It’s so cool to see the things you make, and where it started from. Kinda like this blog. It’s starting here, who knows where it will go to?
I have an interest in history, in space and the stars, in maths, in physics, in chemistry, in weird science, in writing, in music, in art, in computers, in programming, in musicals, in language and languages, in religion, in technology, in design, in open source software, in football (both European and American)… so there’ll be a bit of everything for everyone. Just have a go with it. Stick with me, we’ll see where we go.
I am a Christian at heart, and God is very important in my life. Though I find it hard to place Him first in everything I do, I try. This’ll log my mistakes and my triumphs. Hopefully people can learn something from me, and me from them. In terms of family, I’m in a stable, loving and strong relationship with my girlfriend, and have the most loving and relaxed family you could hope for. Far as they’re concerned, I could do whatever I want to, so… I’ll try to do everything I want to, lol.
So yeah. We’ll see where this takes us.
