What a Geek!!

Posted on Sep 15th 2009 | 7comments

Hello All! So, What a Geek has finally seen the light after spending a lot of time under the shadows of localhost [local(g)host] (There is a reason for calling it localghost, which I will surely explain in my upcoming posts). I must accept that it took me more time than I expected to launch what a geek. There are basically three reasons for this delayed launch:

1. I wanted to develop my own blog engine rather than using a wordpress or a joomla template. Therefore, developing a blog engine took more time against arranging HTML and CSS in a template with a well defined functionality.

2. I have been more involved with Microsoft technologies since my college days. So, a few weeks back it was all about ASP.NET and C# until I decided to take a plunge into the opensource world of PHP and MySQL.

3.Unfortunately, I am not evolved yet to eat microprocessors and chips. Hence, I have to spend a lot of time in earning my bread.

So, enough of Me, Myself and I. Without further ado, let me tell you what this blog is all about. As the name reflects, this is primarily a technical blog. Majority of my posts would be on programming and web designing & development. This would include tutorials, tips and tricks and best practices. However, this is NOT just a technical blog. I would be also writing about various other topics like art, music theory, astronomy, gaming and vfx.

I have decided to keep my blog posts as simple as possible. This means that there would be no fancy English and no unexplained technical jargon. Moreover, I will include a lot of images and screenshots (wherever possible) in my posts so that reading becomes more enjoyable.

Perhaps, the biggest feature on my blog would be comic strips. I would be including comic strips for some special posts related to tech news, astronomy and gaming. Such special posts would be available in both text and comic strip format.

Now, no blog can be successful without active participation from its readers. Subscribe to this blog if you think it has all the stuff you need or you like. Retweet your favorite posts and leave comments so that we can have a healthy discussion on it. You are always welcome to give me any suggestions regarding the blog through my email. I would be soon introducing many interactive features on this blog so that it always remains �Shiny� for readers.
