Hello world! 👋🌍

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! Here’s my first blog post in a very, very long while. I decided to revive my former blog back in 2010 (formerly titled Maca is Rambling) so after spending the entire day swapping different WordPress themes, I ended up using the good ol’ Twenty Ten theme. It is practically the Windows XP of WordPress themes! Oh, just looking at the row of trees in its default header image fills my heart with bittersweet nostalgia 😔. I knew it’s just what I need.

Anyway, I’m planning to write here some of the things I learned this past… 14+ years – mostly tech tutorials, guides and probably a bit of art as well. You know what they say – you’re not a true programmer if you don’t start things by greeting the world so let this blog post serve this purpose. For now, please enjoy this picture of a cow in the post header.

Just hang in there and there will be more to come! Bye for now. – Karl
