Why did the rug start?
It all started a few hundred days ago when I had a directory with my name on it on my own computer. This same directory was on my girlfriends computer, my mums computer and my other laptop. Then I thought. If I make all things online then my life will become much easier. No flash drives, no CDs, no external hard disks. I moved all files to Google Drive, to Dropbox. I deleted everything from local computer. I made sure that everything was located in one place only. It was hard to find things for the first half year.
Another reason is that I was pretty much pissed off that a lot of screenshots out there on the internet use jpg instead of png. I thought wtf? Why not make better quality and less size? This is just stupid. I will show the world that png format is much lighter.
Now..
About content:
I am trying to write down every problem I solve. I try to categorize every post in only one category. Sometimes I try force myself to extract what I have learned today. I really believe that it is possible to make huge improvement by knowing just one command or three lines of code to make computing world a better place. It is better to know how exactly to solve one tiny simple problem practically instead of knowing how to solve twenty huge things theoretically.
Sometimes I write an application (script) and post it here even if I have not tested it yet. It is just like a reminder of the idea. Sometimes I post it in a date far away in the past so no one will ever find out about it :) Nowadays I try to force myself to test things more before going with them public. I discipline myself to not move on to the next thing unless I have written down how I solved the first one. This is very funny at the end of weekends when the learning experience can grow faster. If I find or learn something new, of course, then I can go deeper and faster into next situation, BUT I do not let myself do that unless I write down what I have learned two minutes ago. Sometimes these situations end up with me shutting down the computer, laying down on the bed and looking at walls because it is a great way to prevent me to go deeper into this situation. Just a few weeks ago I learned the importance of writing the post from my very own point of view. I try to avoid using the word "you" because it is my experience and the instruction you read right now will not help you but me. It can help others, i can help others, but it is better to write things in the first person of view. Lets prevent recommending things to others. Everyone should choose himself what to use or not.
What I recommend for future bloggers?
You have a problem and you write it into the search engine. If the first result did not satisfy you then you should have a blog. Then you need to look how to solve this case and you need to write about it. Just configure blogger template for post title to appear as heading 1 and then wait half a year and I promise you it will appear in some of the search results.
Usually the world teaches that the complicated things are the best. That is because no one will pay money unless it is complicated. Everything needs to look complicated.
Have I tried to create step by step? Write a movement and hit enter. Do I know how to read step by step? Just read a movement and compare the output. Does it need to be more complicated? No.
