I've started my electronics blogs (two versions, polish and english) quite confident that it'll take just a moment to write most posts - well, for more lengthy ones half an hour... Maybe an hour tops!
Boy, was I in for a surprise ;P
I currently am around publishing half of text I already have prepared for the blogs. I just sit one day with some nice green tea and started writing the tutorial, starting with bare basics of what is needed for soldering and what actually soldering is... Then I went on to describing all tools needed and ones that are just useful... And so on, and on...
I started around 11, finished when it was dark outside with just a few short breaks <_<
It was a bit over 16 pages of standard text.
And it was a week ago.
Certainly I'm not sitting all the time doing it all, but compiling the text to fit the form of blog I chose as a base for my course website, adding photos and translating to english (I wrote this part in polish first, but translating the other way around isn't any bit faster - I already checked that in earlier posts ;P ) takes such a lot of time.
I must say, I admire the people who are blogging for months or years now, and can make shorter or longer posts daily or each second day, with text and pictures, neatly formatted etc...
I just hope to get a grasp of it quite soon to get it moving along much faster soon or it'll take months to complete the tutorial I've planned thus far if just the introductory part takes so long ;P
And I need to get a good camera both for photos and for making vids - maybe I'll get on youtube and publish tutorials in video format too for those who don't like reading and would rather see/hear it all?
I still haven't decided yet what brand/type of camera I want though...
Anyway, I'm done rambling, on to reformatting, adding pictures, translating more ;P
My various random cogitations, thoughts and ramblings about regular day-to-day life as well as interesting things I do, stumble upon, experience or try. Just a way of voicing out my mind, because diaries and privacy are so passe and so XX century ;P

Oh gods, the pain! ;P
Yeah, setting up blogs and all their options, settings and configurations is a huge pain... ;P
Fortunately it seems that I'm pretty much done for now, all settings finally set, configs checked, options selected...
Seems like I'm good to go. ;)
I must note - in my opinion dynamic views suck.
If they'd allow more customization - what I want to put where on my blog - they could be nice, but if I have to have everything in that right-side-popup-menu it makes it a lot less customizable than standard view, so for now I think I'll stick with it.
Or maybe I simply don't know / don't understand something about those dynamic views?
No idea.
Comment please if you have any idea about it, or if you have similar problems/observations...
Anyway, seems that I'm done with basic setting up (which took me over half day!) and can now go to writing proper posts ;P
Thanks gods for the option of copying settings from one blog to other ;P
If you haven't yet checked them out, now ==> on the right side ==> I've placed links to my other blogs. Probably (like I wrote in earlier post) there will be more in future when I get those first ones really running.
Can't divide attention between too many projects at same time or I won't finish any really ;P
I'm using blogs because I'm too lazy to make proper websites - even though it's a bit of
work with all those settings, setting up blogs is still much faster
than making a proper website, especially that my PHP is quite rusty...
Anyone tried those Google hosting/website making services and can share
how does that look?
Now I'm off to translate second post from english electronics blog to polish version.
Yes, interestingly enough even though I'm from Poland, born polish and my native language is polish, I sometimes actually prefer to write in english first and then translate to polish.
While I'm advanced enough in english that I can freely think in it like in my native tongue, it seems that I think slightly differently each of those languages...
And for some uses it's actually preferred ;P
So, cya all, gotta go to translate before it gets too late and I'll have to go to sleep to get up early tomorrow...

First post!
Hello everyone ;)
cogitate1. (intransitive) To meditate, to ponder, to think deeply.2. (transitive) To consider, to devise.Sauce: wiktionary
I've already started two blogs (or rather two versions - one in english and other in polish) a few days ago about electronics. I also plan to also start in close future two language versions of a blog about self development, learning and quick reading techniques, and possibly some neurolinguistic techniques. About power of the mind in general which I could call 'mind magick'.
But no, no kame-hame-ha, no balls of lightning even though I know you could expect that from my current profile pic.

That's a reserved sekrit knowledge only for the chosen few of my closest friends circle!
Doesn't mean you can't get in one day ;)
Despite having those 2 (and soon 4) blogs/versions I also thought that I could simply start a regular non-tutorial oriented blog for rambling about things & stuff, and for sharing my thoughts with wider audience like regular internets people do.
Because why not ;P
One important point: even though most of my RL friends are from Poland (as am I), I'm not planning on writing this blog in two language versions. I might add a Google's translation tool below posts, but I don't feel like translating everything...
English is accessible for much wider audience, especially that nowadays it's an international language of internet pretty much. And many of my RL and online friends know english anyway.
To those who don't - shame on you! Go learn english. Shoo.
Or wait until I'm bored enough and have enough time to start an english learning course blog or website ;P ;P
They probably aren't reading it anyway if they don't know english, but meh, whatever ;>
I'll write some more later on as now I'm going to sleep. Went to sleep quite late last night, so I need to take a midday nap.
And you don't want to read my posts which I'd write being really tired because 'cogitations' would need to be changed to 'ramblings' (it already seems to be turning this way a bit) ;P
I hope it'll be fun experience with exchanging some random thoughts.
So please leave comments and lets have fun together ;)
