Erator's Sandbox

So just the other day I was talking about technologies and frameworks with a fellow engineer and then the million dollar question came up after much debate: "What have you done?" And I just sat there, trying to come up with an answer to justify my points and where I was coming from, but I couldn't respond with anything recent. I read about emerging technologies in the software engineering field. A lot. I think that's a double edge sword too, because as one keeps reading about the best practices here and there and what others have used and plan to use, you just sit there, wishing and planning on doing so many great and awesome things, but as time goes by, nothing gets done! So my advice, which I am going to eat my own food in this case, is to learn, but above all, START SOMETHING. A popular slogan comes to mind...

First of all, you have to setup the blog, but that's not really hard, because in this case Blogger makes it super easy to create a blog and get going in no time. Personally, the hardest part is actually blogging. Yes, I'm talking about clicking on the "New Post" link and actually writing something to share with whoever happens to find your blog. Then there's the actual reason of blogging (btw, not sure if it's "blogging" or "bloging"). Most friends couldn't care less about reading blogs or blogging themselves, and generally dismiss them, but in today's age, where blogs are so common and plentiful, I think they're great, because now I can have conversations and read information that other people took the time to type and share with complete strangers, and I think that has a lot of value in today's small world. It's not often you hear a stranger tell you, "Hey, check out how I turn this Diet Coke into a geyser!"
