It has been almost 10 years since I stopped blogging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the focus changing from blogging to social media, I lost the attention span, the time and motivation I usually dedicated to this… also, I found that my opinions and posts became mostly a drop in an ocean of echoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I and others started the tech \/ geek blogging scene in Portugal, things were very different. There are still a few that resist like Rui<\/a>, Celso<\/a>, Pedro <\/a>and Hugo<\/a>, but I just hadn’t the energy or the motivation necessary to keep blogging like they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why this post now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Well… for a sanity check. Because I felt the need to blog \/ write again. Not that I have much to say, of even that it might be of interest to the World, but in a time where most of the Internet is crap, violence or even AI generated, I felt like I needed to build my own “oasis”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What will I bring here? Old man rants about everything mostly. Kinda like that Family Guy sketch “What grinds my gears” stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bare with me, I’m close to 3 years of being 50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been almost 10 years since I stopped blogging.
