What is its goal and what am I planning to do with it?
| 
| I've had several different websites at different times in my life at different locations. Ever since I got an Internet connection in 1996 I've found websites and their potential fascinating. I don't want to sound like another visionary but I too realized very quickly that the ability to connect computers via a telephone line had huge possibilities in terms of sharing information. Of course I couldn't imagine the flight it would take and that the Internet would become the medium it is today. And although I can imagine what it could do in the next ten years, I cannot imagine in what form that will be. |
I've always found personal websites to be a little boring and basically I found them to be all the same; a short bio, a couple of photographs and a bit of information on the owners hobbies. Of course, exceptions confirm the rule but - for me - things started changing a couple of years ago when phenomenon's like blogs and forums started to gain momentum. Obviously I became interested in blogs and forums. Many of them provided comments, insights or personal views on a particular subject or recent news, while others were more of a personal online diaries. I started to visit some of them on a regular basis.
When reading interesting blog- and forumposts, I always thought that it would be nice for me to have one of those for myself. Like I said before, I never actually saw the use in having a personal website (although I've had a few before) as I really did not know what to put on it apart from some information about me - which nobody was going to read - or a couple of photos - which nobody wants to see. However, I've spent quite a few years on the Internet now and in a professional working environment so I think I know what is useful ... hopefully.
I didn't put up this website to show you how cool I am. If you like and if you stick around long enough you can learn a little bit about me, though the main reason for starting this website is to create some sort of diary of my wanderings on the Internet; a way to document what I come across and how I look at these things. I don't only want to have a blog but eventually I would really like to share my my experiences with Windows Performance Tuning and of course share my excitement on virtual flying with Microsoft Flight Simulator. While building this site I also would like to get a discussion going on Web Development and learn what you think. I might also share my personal and professional development as it might be of some benefit and you're invited to give constructive criticism and feedback on anything I 'do' here ...
Thank you for reading and please share your feedback.
