I know I will probably never update it or only like once a year, so there&#8217;s really no point in having it in the first place. A simple website would do the job as well. It&#8217;s not really a rational decision, I just felt like doing it. Maybe because everybody else does, too.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, I&#8217;m no good at writing at all. I usually never have much to talk about. However, sometimes I somehow feel the urge to just write down some random things that are occupying me. Things nobody will be interested in anyway. But hey, I don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>One reason for doing it <em>might<\/em> be that I want to work on improving my English. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve decided to write in English for now instead of German. I&#8217;m fairly good at reading\/understanding English, but I really don&#8217;t write\/speak that much English anymore. I realized it today when helping out <a title=\"Peter Pflaum's Portfolio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterpflaum.at\/\" target=\"_blank\">p4<\/a> with an English application. I&#8217;ve become way too slow at forming sentences in English.<\/p>\n<p>So, what else is there that I can bore you with. Oh yes, I finally came around to uploading a couple of new photos to <a title=\"My Wikipedia user page\" href=\"http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benutzer:Robotriot\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> again today. They&#8217;re pretty boring pictures of old-ish cars actually. But fear not, I certainly won&#8217;t spare you all of the details why I&#8217;m doing this! One day, I decided it would be nice to actually contribute something to Wikipedia. I use it fairly often, reading up \u2026 stuff. Since I don&#8217;t feel qualified enough to actually contribute whole articles to specific topics, I thought I could at least provide images. I&#8217;m not entirely sure how I came up with photographing classic cars. I&#8217;m not that into cars actually, I don&#8217;t have one and I don&#8217;t like driving. Maybe it has to do with my obsession with toy cars as a child. I think it&#8217;s also partly because I like to collect things. I sometimes specifically go outside to spot old cars. It feels like going on a hunt, scouting out the best locations for my photographic prey. Must be some relic from the stoneage, hunting <em>and<\/em> collecting. It sounds stupid, but it just gives me a little bit of satisfaction when I find some vehicle worth photographing, and adding it to the Wikipedia gallery. I&#8217;m weird.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, this blog here is the first time ever I successfully installed a PHP application. Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn&#8217;t even know my webhost had PHP\/MySQL.  My account only includes one database though, with a 100MB quota. I&#8217;ve been thinking about installing a PHP-genealogy software, so this would probably conflict with my blog.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still trying to come up with a witty name for this blog. I&#8217;ll probably just change it whenever I feel like it anyway. I&#8217;m inconsistent like that. Anyway, I think it&#8217;s due time I&#8217;m ending this entry. If you made it all the way to this sentence, there must be something seriously wrong with you. Do something productive!<\/p>\n<p><em>PS: I sure enough edited the hell out of this entry.
