First

This is a translation/adaptation of the first post on my finnish language blog. 

This might be my first officially published ramble. I could be wrong, or less than exactly right, but I think it has been fifteen years since I created my account on this platform and tried to start my first blog. It does not seem that I managed to publish anything back then. The original name of the blog was something like "My words are these", which took a couple days to come up with back then, and when I saw it now I immediately trashed it.

A couple years ago I also setup a blog on wordpress, and I think even managed publish some kind of an introduction. I had also been working on a couple of posts, but didn'd publish anything further. I have saved them and maybe I'll be able to turn them into something to post here later.

My head is swirling with so many potential ideas that I don't even know what to try to write about it. So I will start with some random thoughts. I might write more on any of these later.

I am originally finnish, but lived abroad over twenty years. I've moved a few times here, but within less than a hundred kilometer radius. I worked in the same place for nearly twenty years. I also bought my first apartment here. After finding my life partner and getting married with her, and after the birth of our first child, we bough a new apartment together which is where we currently live and where we had our second child.

These days I'm working remotely, which is mostly nice. Sometimes I miss being able to just have a quick chat with a colleague.

I have subscriptions with quite a few streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, HBOMax, SkyShowtime, Prime), and watch something from each one every week.

I have been trying to write ever since I was young. So far, my only so-called completed works are from more than thirty years ago. A few comics and one novel. Happily I still have all of them. Story seeds and random notes I have in abundance. There's one idea that I've had thirty something years, and I return to is every now and then.

I have also tried to make computer games, but haven't managed to complete anything. Lots of ideas for multiple games, some potentially only pending the actual development, some needing a bit more prepwork.

I suppose this will do as an introduction of a kind. More later. I didn't now mention any old computers (Sinclar ZX81, Commodore 64, Amiga) of which I again have a couple, reading and gaming hobbies, etc. Or I was about to not mention. I'll surely write more on those topics later.

Note. The below is a translation of the second post on my finnish language blog.

With my previous bloggin attempts, I have had the idea to try to do some kind of commentary on current events or politics etc, but I never seemed to have time to pick up the topics quickly enough, or to try to provide deeper analysis later. So I've decided to drop those thoughts for now and write whatever nonsense comes to mind.

Let's call it some kind of writing practice.
