As an act of anxious procastination, I decided to set up the bare bones of a simple website. In here I hope to blog about learning experiences, thoughts about the state of my world, reflections on my past, or more light-hearted things. I would ideally reflect on some of the projects I worked on or classes I took.
A reason for doing this…
I once set up a wordpress blog to document future projects and such. I didn’t end up using this as much, and I also felt like there was too little content to warrant the overhead behind the system running it. It wasn’t slow in performace. It’s not that type of overhead.
Before, I knew little to nothing about writing web sites (this was the end of my freshman year). Now I see that the system I want to run behind the static information I want to share is not Wordpress, but rather something more simple.
Ideally I want to be able to get to a point were I wean this site off libraries or services that I myself haven’t written. This would help me learn more about how the system works from the server to the actual content displayed in the browser. I awknowledge that this requires both time and money (servers or domain names are not yet free), so I guess this means that I have another project to add to the to-do list…
