Welcome to this site – my new blog. Although I have been thinking about this for a while, the idea behind this blog came from looking at Duane Keiser’s Process blog. What I want to do here is post work in progress from my easel as well as thoughts announcements and whatever. I suppose as I go along the concept will fall together a bit better.
Being a programmer, I kind of liked the “Hello World” title that WordPress put on the dummy first article, so I am going to keep it. Better than calling it “foo-bar”… sorry, that was a programmer’s joke.
So what’s a foo-bar?
When a programmer (especially Perl, C and Unix geeks) needs to name variables or placeholders they tend to use the names “foo” and “bar”. Why? Its one of those geek things. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_bar for more info.
This is as opposed to “Hello world” which is the unversal thing to print to the screen in simple programming examples. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world . Or http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/ to see “Hello world” code in over 1000 languages.
