A Coder's Desire to be heard

Hi Guys,

I do accept that I have been quiet on this blog. Well, do not think that my desire to be heard has died or been surpassed by other desires – nothing like that. It has instead grown.

As a student, I was always inspired by great people whose blogs I used to read. You know those blogs where guys write a whole five pages or more on a topic. I would admire them. I always promised myself that I would be a blogger some day. That like them, I would influence many a mind of upcoming developers and coders. That I would point them to the right direction and consequently guide them so that they become the best they can be. I dreamed of having an audience of young upcoming developers and coders whom I could guide so that they find the road smother than I found it.

In my two years of blogging, I have no audience so far. I know many guys read my blogs, but they do not subscribe to my school of thought. In other words my blogs are read by the wrong audience.

I have, however, in my two years of blogging learnt plenty of lessons and gained a little more wisdom. I now respect guys who blog constantly and consistently because I fully understand the time these guys put in to research, prepare and present the various topics that they blog about. The time alone is a major factor.

I am not a consistent blogger – maybe that’s why I have no audience yet, but I still find it hard to keep up the pace. I do have lots of material for blogging but the time to prepare that material is now becoming so scarce, though the desire to blog is as strong as ever.

So I have decided to change my strategy of blogging. I am going to start blogging about my personal experience. I will blog about the things that make me happy, the things that challenge me – you know that piece of code that takes you two weeks to write, or that function that just cannot return the expected values, well , I will I write about such things and anything that comes to my mind.

Who knows, maybe then, I will get an audience. For I just have a burning desire to be heard, to influence people either through talks or through blogging. I am what I am today because of the many blogs that I read. I have come upon both good material and bad material on blogs. But I decided long time ago to always pick out the good blogs, the constructive and developmental ones. I have always neglected the bad blogs – those blogs where guys blog about nonsense. Am sure you know what I am talking about.

And since you have read up to this point, then you probably found this particular blog interesting otherwise you could not have reached here. Look out for the next blog. It will be about me – challenges, love, joys, code, sorrows and all that.

Till then, Kazooba Innocent Kaheru
