I've been fighting the idea of blogs for many years now (as well as many of the other features of the Web2.0 universe). Well, you can say that I am the type of person that wants to keep things simple. Normal static web pages, no flashy stuff and a console with Vim editing your code is all that you should need to let people know about your electronic existence.

What I realized though is that you cannot be an evangelist of something, if you haven't seen the alternative. Just like you cannot blame Linux if you haven't actually used it, I assume that's how it should be with blogging. "Try it out by yourself and if it doesn't work for you or if it simply sucks (as you think even now), then just drop it and go do something else. But first give it a try", I kept saying to myself for some months now.

So, here I am writing my first post!

My intention is not to create a diary. I hate it when people write about the time they took their dog for a walk and it was then that they saw this cool new advertisement of condoms on the road! I don't intend to put out my everyday thoughts and activities. I don't want to write about religion, politics or women (even though all three topics can be extremely interesting to talk for hours about). At least that's my initial intention. We'll see how that will work.

I will try to focus on geeky stuff. Stuff about computers (these tricky machines of the devil) or technology in general. Stuff that I come upon every once and a while and I would not like to forget (for those of you who don't know me, my memory is something more than just ridiculously lousy). Stuff that intrigue me into searching more about them and at the same time let others know. But mostly, things that concern a certain part of IT that I particularly enjoy working and talking about ... IT Security.

So, let the game begin ...
