Finished converting...

It took a little bit of time, but I was finally able to convert my old political blog, "Firelight World Review" into a much more friendly business and technology related blog, "RealTech". Throughout this blog, you will notice that I post links to other sites I have found through my research (StubleUpon). I will probably write a little bit about major changes to my website, www.nickpape.com, as well periodically write updates about the projects I am working on at work.


As a side note, I set up a WordPress blog on the local machine there. I have been trying to figure out how to get it to sync with a database on my website. Then I would make a second wordpress setup that was on one of my websites subdomains, but this would probably be restricted only to editing by me. I just wanted a place at work where I could easily record and recover code snippets, aid in my planning by typing out and chronologically documenting my development, as well as providing a nice idea of what I have been doing. In other words, I would like a place that my bosses could go to and see that I have been working really hard (which I have been). I think sometimes it is a little bit hard to see or explain what I am doing, as I work in a non-tech company. For example, if I had just written my entire base class for something, they would just be like, "what? When is that page going to be done." It is hard for me to explain that writing the page is one of the easiest parts, logically speaking. Although writing the pages ALWAYS takes a lot longer.


Anyways, enjoy the blog! I plan to post all sorts of informal stuff I have here, including, but not limited to,

• Startup ideas
• Business research
• Software architecture ideas
• Software/technology reviews
• Comments about my classes at The University of Texas
• Major updates to my website
• Etc, etc...

I think this is a sufficient post! Have fun browsing my website and blog.
