Hello World

Yes, I know, you're probably wondering why my first post is called "Hello World". Well, when you start to learn a computing language (i.e. HTML, Java, etc.), usually the first lesson you are taught is how to make a "Hello World" program. I thought it would be interesting and amusing to name this post just that. Well, there you have it, your first piece of knowledge about me: I love programming.

I've read numerous blogs (derived from weblogs, in case you didn't know) in the past, and they've been mostly...well, to put it bluntly, bad. There were grammar mistakes, sudden idea changes, and of course, spelling mistakes. In a post, and any post for that matter, these bad habits can really mislead the reader. They could be excitedly reading about something, when suddenly, they see a grammar mistake. When that happens, you usually lose the interest of the reader as they are pulled back into reality and out of the story of your amazing post.

And of course, blogs are personal, so they should contain some sentimental value. Whether it's just a thread of personality, or the soul of the writer, it needs to be personal. And with that being said, let's end off my first post with a lovely quote from the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, Alan Alexander Milne.

"The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking."
