Just a silly post, you don't need to read it !

Ok. I just warned you at the title. You don`t need to read this. It is just a silly post I fancied to write. I am sitting in front of my laptop, late at night and after reading for an hour all those great delphi blogs from Allen Bauer, Nick Hodges, Steve Trefethen, etc ... I fealed a mix of jealousy and got some motivation to write something at my blog. Yes, I know ! I promised some time ago that I would write about this and that, and didn't did it. That's myself, good intention but less effords ;-).

I see the cursor blinking at the screen, and I don't know what to write about, althought I have the need to press the keys of my keyboard. I have never had a laptop before, and I really like the sensation that this keyboard gives to my fingers when I press the keys. Some weeks ago, at weekend, I had the need to recommence the developing of my new website www.albertresearch.com. I turned on my laptop, plugged in my headphones, put some music on and started to code. It was amazing !. New ideas came in, "I could do this, and make that", and time passed so fast, that I did not noticed that I where coding for 4 hours. I had to stop, because my kids wanted my attention... sometimes I feel really bad because developing absorbs me too much. I am coding my web with Delphi using ASP. NET.  I have coded some commercial web's in the past using flat html, flash only (great mistake, but at those times it was lets say fashion) and recently in ASP .NET. I found ASP. NET  amazing. Coding such a complex think as a web page is (at least for me), using my favourite IDE and my favourite programming language !!!. Not with those cryptic languages loaded up with symbols. I found the codebehind feature an amazing thing. As I am self-taught coder, and I have never had lessons for coding in ASP.NET it was a bit hard to understand at the very begining, but now I am on the ball and getting the whole idea a bit. Let me underline the word bit as I am a novice ASP.NET coder. ;-)

Ondia ! (in Catalan means like "Oh God!") It is very late. I got to sleep. Tomorrow I have to wake up early and go to work. So that was all about it... My best wishes to all of you for this year.
