Eternal Search of My Perfect Personal Blog

Posted in Technology by Alpay on May 27th, 2008

I’m writing this post from my PDA over an EDGE connection using Opera Mini. My main computer is away from me, though I don’t miss it. Only thing I miss is a keyboard as HTC Prophets only provide the on-screen type. I have been checking my personal e-mails, reading rss news and surfing the web with this device and I do not care about if there is a wireless ethernet connection or not.
This experience made me think why we need wireless ethernet anyways when we are able to connect to everything everywhere. Just bring 4G baby. Also since even a PDA is ok for me an Asus eeePC should be more than enough for casual use.
by the way, landing a simple robot is so last century. 21st century is being able to see photos taken on Mars from a mobile device by the pool in 12 hours.

ScribeFire - seems to be the best blogging software on Mac

Posted in blogging by Alpay on May 15th, 2008
I have been wandering and trying different blogging tools on the Mac platform for a while. Unfortunately all the good software out there has a non-zero price tag. Well except ScribeFire, which is a great Firefox plug-in and a real time saver. I have not extensively tested it and I will be comparing it to the blogging facilities of Flock, however such a small package in such a handy presentation is something to thank for.

Tough world we blog in

Posted in blogging by Alpay on May 3rd, 2008

Blogging is really hard. Due to the fact that it contains some writing effort :) It is hard to come up with ideas, for which I can give credit to myself, but actually organizing these thoughts in a manner that it is easy to understand or enjoy by some people I don’t even know… Well, this is the hard part.

I have noticed my impatience last week with blogging. I am not an impatient person. I can wait indefinitely at times. But when it comes to blogging I want results… now!

That is why I keep on abandoning blogs every month and starting new ones every other month. This is not how it works. The PSP Port -our pet project- got noticed by Mr. Google after almost 2 months and now people seem to visit the site even when there are no updates and pretty small amount of content.

Blogging is not easy. It will be my personal test for patience in writing and self-confidence.
