Hazy thoughts from a techie nerd in paradise.

If it ain’t broke. . . well now you’ve gone and broke it.

This new venture that I’ve embarked on in the virtual blogosphere is quite intriguing to me.  But it might be for the wrong reasons.  I’m more stoked that I’m doing all of this out of my own little Sony VAIO sitting in my room.  It’s an amazing thought that the whole world can see what I’m doing just because I’m connected.  And I’m not using any free web space or victim to banner ad support on my site.  I’m already working on getting a static IP from my ISP so I can register a nice, catchy little domain name for myself.

I’ve decided that it isn’t enough that I’ve got this up and running.  I am determined to delve deeper into the inner workings of the platforms that I have chosen to build this here doo-hickey.

A good friend and learned web programmer told me that I’ll need a boat load of patience and a fair amount of elbow grease to try and reverse engineer Wordpress‘ php interworkings with the MySQL back-end.  He was probably being polite.

So wish me luck in my endeavor.  I’m sure that I’ll need as much as I can get.

Btw, MySQL should be capitalized as such. What’s cool is that when browsing this page in Opera for Blackberry, it’s super-fast.

What might also be helpful is signup for DYNDNS.com and let that service manager your changing IP. You’ll get a managed subdomain, and it’ll save you the hassle of having to redo your confs and readvertise your IP (techbically and through email). Ha.
