About me
Rólam
I worked with Java, Visual J++ and Visual Basic in the beginnings, then became a Delphi developer for over two years.
After the two years I switched company, and ended up first as a software designer/architect, then after a year, as a
business analyst which is my what I do these days.
I believe in "disciplined" software engineering - no, not the overly bureaucratic ones with tons of "must have"
documentations - which is flexible but gives a chance to improve work and product quality, and I am prone to experiment
with new ways of doing things, trying to learn a better way not only by reading about them - although I have a pretty
good collection of books on software development -, but trying them whenever I can.
Blogs and the interwebs
I first came on the internet sometimes around 1994, I think. And the only thing that has never changed for me is that
the internet always about people - and news.
But if I had to choose, it would be the people. First the e-mails, then the IMs, the forums and the IRC, then the
different online games - World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies and SecondLife.
Learning languages, cultures, talking about everything and nothing.
I started my first blog in 2004, and quickly got addicted to blogs - not neccessarily writing them, but reading too -
and this whole so called "
web 2.0" and "social media" thing and I could not resist but introduce these new technologies to my workplace too
- first DokuWiki, for the documentation, when I was a developer
at Inforatio Solutions Ltd., then
MediaWiki to gather knowledge and documentations and Wordpress for a product
diary and we even tried to introduce Drupal to merge the two functionality at EuroMACC Ltd.
About this site
As it is well past 2007, I've already been writing blogs for the last 4 years, and I work in software development
creating my own site comes just something that is natural, for while I agree with Heather Hamilton, I still think that
Seth Godin has some valid points.
The blog is not a resume,
but it still gives some depth to it. At the least it can expand upon the "other interests" part of your CV.
And that's what site is. My interests, my thoughts, opinions. Photography, music, books and whatever else.
