Blogging here I am.

Pretty new to all this blog stuff. I am not much of a reader nor of a writer. So I don't think I can really put a paragraph together that will start, develop and then finish a thought. But hey my english professor says that blogging is good to improve writing .

A lot of stuff came to my mind before I put my first post, the blog is up for almost a year now just so I could say I had a blog like everybody else did. First, what to blog ? I wanted to do something that I could share but at same time would be interesting to people. But what could I do ? I still don't know. I will post whatever I fell like, mostly of the posts will be about Oracle and PL/SQL and all the boring stuff about programming.

Second thing came to mind was whether to post in english or portuguese. I am from Brazil and moved to the US in 99. Since I intend to post mainly about programming I will post mostly in english. One thing I learned is whatever I learned in English I really don't know how to say in Portuguese. For example, I entered the Oracle world after I moved to the US, so most of the stuff I know about Oracle is in english and I can't really think of a way to say it in portuguese. For example, triggers ! In english it makes perfect sense to say that an event triggered the database. How about in portuguese? Um evento engatilhou o banco de dados or Um envento disparou o banco de dados. It just sound funny and like bad portuguese to me. Plus coding in english makes easier to read the code. The keywords are in english and your variables are in english just makes more sense when you are reading the code. But anyways I will throw some portuguese from time to time and hopefully I will learn all the technical lingo in portuguese someday.

In summary that's it ! hopefully I somebody will read my blog ! Please, please, please read me people !!!!!
