Stuff I do and more…

Syndication

No, this it is not about the revive of Syndicate Wars but post syndication, aggregation or just simply put: Stealing posts from other blogs and putting them on your own. Just a quick update to let you know you might see posts here that are not entirely mine :-)

I decided to include the blog posts that my friends make on my own blog. I came to this decision after Sammy and I had a little discussion on this topic on his in the discussion area of his blog. I proudly present post syndication so I don’t have to write anything anymore and you don’t have to read my crap anymore.

I hope they don’t mind :P

  • What to blog about

    Every day I think about writing a post for this blog(only a few seconds :-) ). But every day I conclude there is nothing to write about. Not that my life is boring but I didn’t do anything interesting today or this week. You can say of course I can write about my job because creating computer games is the most coolest thing in the world! however I had to sign an NDA(It’s less interesting than it sounds), so that is off the table. But today in my few seconds of thought about this, I decided to write something…anything. But again I had nothing to write about. So I entered the search keywords “What to blog about” in google and I ended up at the Blog Herald which has the exact article I needed. After reading this I still knew nothing. Stupid blogs!

    In another really short thought I remembered a blog post I once wrote about Starbucks and why it is successful (I never published that post) So, I did a search for that post but It disappeared :-( I found an interesting fact though: “I was born January 14th 1982. The year when the diet coke also came to life”. I think I’ll use this line for my about page.

    But I’ll tell you what I did today. I played some more Red Alert 3. Yes, it still didn’t finish the game. I read a chapter of a book I’m reading and after that I picked up another book to read afain a chapter. I am actually trying to read 4 books at once. This might not be the smartest thing to do but lately my brain is hungry for input and although youtube it really nice, nothing can capture my imagination as well as some good lines of code…I mean text! Lately for my job I’ve been writing code a lot and it made know how much I love doing this. I am turning back into a full time computer geek :D
