A place to start.

I’ve had various WordPress installs and excuses for blogs across the internet in previous years, and I’ve always had some form of personal homepage, but I’ve never really formed a habit of maintenance and updating them, but I guess that’s the quintessential excuse for blog failure. I’d like to have somewhere to collect my thoughts, mus (I almost said “musings” there. I’ve got to try to encourage myself to not be so cliché), programming notes, etc. so I’m going to make the quintessential blogger’s promise of content. It’s likely that no one will even see this post for a few days, or even weeks, but I’ve gotta start somewhere.So, this is the start of my new blog, me.wyattanderson.com. I’m just going to use it as a whiteboard, basically, where I can collect my thoughts on various things technological and not. I’ve often found myself lacking a place to post programming snippets, thoughts, techniques, etc. and I think such “scrapbooking”, if you will, is valuable at this stage in my professional life. I think it’s good to keep track of the solutions I find to problems, so that I can actually re-use some of the “reusable” code I’ve been writing. I imagine it should be easy to whip up some sort of WordPress plugin or whatever to use google-code-prettify to highlight syntax. So, we (or I, depending on whether or not I ever push this) shall see where I get with this.
