It’s been a few months that my blog was offline. Moving into my new home was and still is quite an experience. Being that this is my first home I would even call it a journey.
It’s a lot of fun setting everything up, painting, putting together furniture, servers , purchasing, etc.

I will be honest and say that at times it is hard to do all this by myself. Friends and family helped a lot – I’m grateful for any help I received; getting all this done without others would have been hard, very hard.

It’s nice to come home and see changes, more furniture each week and even more personalization. Setting up the network was not an easy task but I’m almost done, too.

The hardest part so far was getting the server rackets into the basement but we finally found a portion of a wall that was not essential The space is a bit more open coming down the stairs now!

I honestly never thought I would set up a blog but because of no free time I will have to use WordPress . I used to hate the concept of blogging. I cannot explain why I "used to" hate blogging. Maybe because of the popularity of blogs; the fact that everybody has one or maybe because I always wanted to work only with the software that I created myself.

I’ll finish this post and start the blog. We’ll see what happens over time…

Update: (10/13/2007) 2.5 years after this first post I have to say that WordPress turned out a superb CMS / blogging system that ended up fitting all my needs. I did not expect it to work as well as it did. With every new release new features and functionality is introduced that just makes blog management so much easier. The fact that a WordPress has a large community of users helped provide a large number of quality plugins that solve the problems that bloggers are experiencing. Long live WordPress !
