A (not so) little introduction about my blog

2 comments
Hi guys. Alec Guintu here. A ruby/ramaze web developer in the Philippines. Not much of a blogger yet (it's my second time actually, I forgot about the first one) but I'll see what I can do about that. I've heard that blogging helps. I get to share what I want to say, listen to what others thinks about it and get to learn some new things as well. It's also a good way to socialize with different people who maybe shares a common interest.

My first intention on blogging was so that I'd have a help-myself-guide on things I do. A reference. Something to look back to when I need it again when some things go wrong. And while thinking about it, maybe it can also help others like it has helped me.

Well mostly I'd be blogging about technical stuff. Firstly would be ruby, a programming language I chose not much long ago. It started when we had to use a new one back at my first job, and you could say it was love at first sight then. I was using Ruby on Rails before but when I tested out Ramaze I chose this one. I feel much comfortable with it and it doesn't have much of those auto-magic stuff. So yah, mostly this blog would contain things I learn about ruby/ramaze and things related to them.

Another would be about "Ayie", my Macbook. It would mostly contain installation instructions for me and what I did with Ayie. So maybe when I reinstall or maybe upgrade Ayie, I'd have an easy reference on what I need to do.

And maybe while I'm at it, I'd also be posting some things about me. Hehe! My adventures and stuff. I don't know, this is just a big maybe.

So yah. There I think I got one down. Though it kinda feels awkward typing about trying to talk to an audience (or you don't even know if they exist). Hehe. Maybe I'll get the hang of this sometime.
