Motivation and Blog Content Focus

Howdy! you curious, smart and inquisitive internaut. This is my first post to discuss my personal motivation on creating this space for you and me.

But first of all, who am I and why you should spend your valuable time surfing through my content? I am just another geeky regular joe that enjoys tinkering with new technologies and sharing it with the communities that has given me a lot with no expected retribution or deferred payments. I am talking about the Linux and Free Open Source Software (FOSS) movements. For a more thorough view of my personal interests and trajectory, please refer to my About section.

What took me so long? I had this personal project pending under my backlog of wish lists and dream-line for a long time that I kept procrastinating. But times have changed, COVID-19 is here to stay for a while, and so working from home (WFH), which in turn has given me an unique opportunity of reclaiming that scarce commute time back to work-out, learn, be with my lovely wife and of course, play some video games.

Why? It is time to give back to the same communities that helped me grow, learn and continue improving in my career. In addition, personally I want to refine my communications skills (English, writing) and what better way than jumping into the unknown of this bast cyberspace. Finally, I intend to use also this resource for personal technical reference.

I will be focusing in the beginning on the following areas or technologies:

Text Editing and Writing
emacs, doom-emacs, org-mode, hugo
Web Technologies
HTML, CSS, Browsers, APIs (REST, GraphQL, Protobuf)
Programming
Python, JavaScript, Go
Infrastructure
Cloud (AWS, GCP), Networking
DevOps and SRE Practices
Monitoring, CI/CD, Automation and Integration

If time and motivation keeps going, I will expand the content to Spanish (my native language) once I learn about Hugo internationalization (i18n).
