Welcome to my first blog post!
Oh my! I have taken on the task of writing development blog posts. What does this actually mean? Well, in my case, it means I want to keep a journal. I have many reason for doing this: accountability, progress tracking, sharing and just a place where I can share my inner world.
What will this blog mostly consist of?
- I’d like to describe myself as a “code jockey meets eccentric creative”. What this really means is that I’m a creative technut. Oh.. that doesn’t sound too descriptive either. Basically, I love coding and creating art (in many forms!).
- I would say that there are two main categories that I’m interested in: art and software. There isn’t much within these two categories that I’m NOT interested in. Gimme all that knowledge!
- Naturally, at the intersection of these two categories lies game development, which contains both art and software.
What to expect?
-
Not much. My writing skills leave a lot to be desired. Sometimes I don’t even know whats going on in my own noggin’, let alone being able to put that into words. You can expect my sentences to range from “Modern-day Shakespeare” to “Is that even english!?”.
-
My current creative skills are just like my writing skills, so don’t expect much there either. However, I’m very dedicated to learning and developing creative skills.
Scope?
- I’m currently working towards obtaining a “Bachelors of Computer Science” in University. This is a monumental task for me. I’m not sure how much time I can spare making blog posts on here. I’d like it to be something I’d do consistently, maybe weekly? monthly? Who knows!?
- I’d say “Have no expectations of consistency nor quality.” This is very much a casual blog, I don’t even expect anyone to read this!
About me?
- Hey there! My pseudonym is ‘Cicadacore’, it’s a pleasure to meet you!
- I’m introverted and a little socially awkward (could you tell?). I’d like to put myself out there more and experience the world.
- At the time of writing I’m a 28 years old male. I wear glasses, I have a few tattoos, I love gaming, movies, music, art, ..and most things introverted people are into!
- I am very much a regular guy so there’s not much extraordinary to mention, I’ve been through great times and really bad times (unfortunately), but would not like for those things to define me.
- I believe that an important part of being a creative is sharing your work with others, I’d like to start doing that, but courageously sharing my work online is a bit too much for me at the moment, so I’d like to start small with a blog. I just want to take the things that are in my mind and leave it somewhere, a kind of “cathartic offloading”.
- I have an obsessive curiosity that absolutely NEEDS to be sated. The subject doesn’t matter, I need to know how it works.
Conclusion
- I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse into who I am and why I am starting this blog.
- My head is still dizzy from thinking what to write for a first blog!
- Here’s to many more!
Keep safe, happy and healthy! Regards, Cicadacore @ Cicadaware.
