Changing PR strategy

Hi

If your reading this is probably because of a link on my gtalk and/or msn account, just to make that clear this is my blog, the link is for the ones that do not know what a blog is; yes I like to do that a lot. Anyway I have you here to see if I can score a reader so let me tell you what this is about. we’ll actually that is what the about page is supposed to be for.

First I have to clarify why write in English and it’s basically a two part thing

• I have always said that technology’s language is English specially if we are talking about computers. I believe this is because of three things: in English making up new words is really easy, second USA has been in the peek of tech in the last century and this one is more of a consequence, by the time books are translated to spanish they are probably obsolete.
• With both my interest in software and my day job (in software) lately I have been thinking in english more then spanish.

what I normally talk about? in no particular order, well that’s what tags are for here are the more populated ones so far

• life, this is basically some reflection about something that happen it could be news or a conversation that got me thinking articles here are normally not programming related
• work, this is a two fold one is my current work
• work in air quotes, over here some stuff that should really not happen it’s my own personal version of dailyWTF, which recently was renamed to Worst Then Failure
• any name that sounds like a product (trac,TurboGears,xgl,gentoo,ubuntu,wordpress,etc.) those are normally code or usage of the program
• all the other are small things but may be worth it, just check out the archive.

So yes it sounds a bit too technical but there is no point in blogging about my dog, for those of you I got two suggestions: learning tech stuff won’t hurt you in fact it will help you in your carrier, a veterinarian that know how to hack perl is a very good assert for someone that knows what perl is. Second I’m working on an idea for a less centric community blog but I’m waiting for someone to come up with a name for it.

In general this place is good for knowing what I’m up to, in fact if you read carefully you can figure out what I’m working on, also do not expect a lot of post if you want crap just add digg to your feeds. Ahhh yes very important since your new here let me introduce you to the magic of RSS you first need an RSSreader i highly recommend google reader then you need to add the feed, after that your done. The beauty of RSS is that you get personal notifications of new stuff but without spam so it’s better then email, and you also don’t have to see the crappy layouts people use, (like this site) all you get is the content, also it’s better then just going to sites because it will stack up until you either read or delete the items, so you can pile up several articles and read them when you want. I can only tell you how RSS is good for me but you have to try it to see why it has because the application that I use the most. and yes those little orange icons ALL webpages have today are links to the feeds.

sopleasetakethecontentbywhatitisgrammarisoverrated… so yea I better write then think the correct way, if your not comfortable with that sue me, that is why this is my blog. I have always hated having to stop and think if foo was spell correctly, now I know you have valid points but think of the keyboard it was made to be messy so it will slow you down. I consider the same for grammar.

oh by the way PR stands for public relationships. read: buzzword for talking to people, almost forgot if you do have a blog leave me a link
