Hello world!
Posted by Mike on February 17, 2007
Well here it is, my first post on this new blog. I figure that today I’ll just let you all know what the plan is with thing, we can actually start getting down to it soon. Basically my goal will be to explore the possibilities and hacks and other neat stuff that can be done with technology and scripts and such these days. My plan is to pick a project and keep you all up to date with my efforts in getting it done. I’ll post regular updates on my experience and links to as many turorials and helpful websites as I can find on the subject while I’m at it. Hopefully the more techniologically savvy folks in the audience can provide their advice and guidance along the way as well.
It’s been pointed out to me that this is actually a very “librarian” like course of action for me to take. Those of you who spend enough time with me in class know that I quite often claim not to be much of a “librarian type,” well perhaps I was wrong. Still, let’s not forget that I’m looking to get something out of all this myself (namely the advice of the more expert types who might occasionally read this blog).
There are a number of projects that I’ve picked out for the next few months (some of which will have to wait until I’m making some money with which to buy the necessary pieces), unfortunately Battlestar Galactica is about to start so I’ll leave off by just mentioning a few of the neato projects I want to pursue: setting up a webserver on the old computer I grabbed from my folks, fooling around with setting up samba on the same box, and using the aforementioned webserver to host this blog (this is probably only a temporary home).
