Another Blog

This is the third time I try to start a Blog. The first time I was living Southern France, I was working freelance, looking for a Job and had a lot of free time. Back then I had a lot of time to spare and I found blogging a good way of keep busy my mind writing about my favorites sites on the web. I worked for more than 4 years for a publishing company looking for good quality websites to be included in kind of small thematic directories. It was very nice because I was paid for surfing the web using altavista, yahoo, lycos, google, open directory, etc, to look for good sites about different topics. Therefore in my first blog I was describing my favorites sites, linking them to my daily life experiences. For example if I was trying to book a flight I was blogging about my favorite travel aggregator, or since I was looking for a job I was highlighting the best job portals, etc. When I moved to Ireland and I began to work for a big IT company, I was updating less and less that blog and a certain point I stopped doing it.

Later on there was a contest in the company to create a thematic blog. So I started another one about on my hobbies: PDAs. I wrote about Palm and Pocket PC, blogging over my favorite programs for both Platforms and sometimes I summarised the current events about them. At the beginning I was trying to update it a couple of times a week, but unfortunatelly it suffered the same fate of the previous one: the updates were more a more spontaneous and at the end I abandoned it as well.

You might be thinking now I’m a terrible blogger and it could be true. Maybe I wouldn’t had published anything really since my last post about one utility for pocket pc in march last year, but something terrible happen in my life about 4 months ago: My mother who had being diagnosed ovarian cancer a year earlier passed away … it was really sad and I guess even if everyday it will be less painful, I will always have this wierd half empty sensation …

So I wrote once more in my previous blog to express what I was feeling about my mom and how I was going to miss her. I never wanted to write anything else there so I basically close my postings there.

In this third attempt I will implement some changes: I’ll write about several interesting topics to me, so I won’t be limited to write only about this or this, I’ll write in English, instead of Spanish, so it’s easier from different non-hispanic cultures to read this blog and finally, I’ll update it as much as possible, linking it with my daily life so hopefully it will be easier. :)

Well that’s all for now. In fact is more challenging to write in English even if I live in Ireland and I’m spending most of the time Speaking and Writing en English.
