I've been told the best way to learn something is to do it, and then write about it, so that's the point of this blog.
Particularly I intend to write about my journey with programming technologies I use or am learning, projects I am building and systems I work with. This will primarily include my experiences with Java, Ruby, Flex, Windows and Linux, as these are the technologies I have chosen to spend my time on.
I am by no means an expert in any one of these, but have been in this field for many years and (as any IT worker does) I find I have to keep up my skills, even if it at times is frustrating, hopeless, and aggravating. Occasionally, we get lucky and something works like it was originally designed.
I hope to document my accomplishments and struggles in these very broad areas over the course of time
That was where I found myself at 1:30 this morning trying to install my third option for a personal wiki on my brand new 64 bit Fedora Core 11 machine. And that was after about five hours of messing with it prior to that. So that's where I will begin with my next blog entry.
