It's all in the wild

been a while... well frontier it is. I've been researching how to blog. Which might seem weird while I'm writing a rather weak blog.

What the fuck!

I'm slowly seething.

Fury.

Heat.

Terror.

Get it out.

enamel

I have an enamel tin cup. I drink water from it.

A little mental

This is going to be difficult. Firstly there are way too many different tags to remember.

• Too many


• Way too many!


• But at least I seem to remember how to do unordered lists

secondly, after a few paragraphs and colours it all becomes unreadable! And all of them have to be spelt in American English, which is a bitch when it comes to words like "center" (centre is the correct spelling) and "color" (colour is the correct spelling)

The tutorial

Righto, the HTML journey begins.

Things you don't really need to know but help you to sound clued up:

HTML stands for: Hyper Text Markup Language. (I knew that!)

It was created by a man named Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.

Apparently it is what helps us communicate with others on the web.

Researching...

I received this email from a friend a while ago.

ASWRWB bro,

Sorry I had to leave quickly yesterday, I was about to miss the prayers.

As for learning HTML, here are some tutorials, I hope you find useful

1- http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp (you got this link yesterday)

2- http://www.goodellgroup.com/tutorial/ (this is a very easy one to learn from, you can start with this one)

3- http://www.learn-html-tutorial.com/ (An advance explanation, yet very useful website)

I do hope you enjoy learning it, if you have any trouble understanding it, please don't hesitate to ask, I would be happy to help. We can meet online and explain how it works.

As for books, I think it would be easier if the library have a website. I can look up the books they have and pick a couple for you. If not, I will email some useful books to you.

have a nice day dude :)

Research.

I want to find my resources on the web.

And please let me know. Where is the deep web?

HTML

I want to be better at working the web. I'm hopefully going to learn HTML. I'll begin by designing a small website. I'll update the progress and you can follow it. :)

how to learn stuff.

I decided this blog should be renamed "how to learn stuff". Because that is basically what I want to do.

It's amazing but for a long time I never realised how difficult it is to learn stuff. I suppose I was used to just understanding things, processes, feelings, jigsaw puzzles. But there is so much that can't be grasped in 4 hours.

I like 4 hours. I think if you can stick at something for 4 hours, you can stick it longer.

Swiftly moving on. You gotta read. But also, ya gotta do. And that's where I stop. Not purposefully. But definitely stop. Blank. Period.

I'm picking up momentum. Watch out suckers.

discovery

discovery is difficult.

what am I good at? I haven't the foggiest. But I need a bit of dosh.

Exclusivity

Exclusivity sells.

But the modern human instinct is to shy away from the unconventional. Anything that makes one stand out in the crowd is a danger and our health and safety conscious minds are excellent at putting up barriers against these things. I suppose this highlights how consumer exclusivity, with all it's glitzy temptation, is a con.

True individuality comes from unity. Not from separation.

True individuality is responsibility. Not opinions or clothes.

True individuality comes from one's actions. Not from other's actions.

Photek

I'm listening to Photek whilst typing. Really, it's improving my typing speed!

Today is grey

Business is not booming. I'm broke. It's not difficult to see. One day needs to be today.

I stumbled upon an idea two days ago. More updates soon.

People, myself included need to get over themselves. They need to be more spontaneous and primordial. I apologise if this contradicts your love of progress.

Today is grey. I read the four hour work week. And last night I began the Autobiography of Malcom X. Both brilliant.

Both emphasise time. How quickly it ends. It doesn't even seem to start. All we have of time is the moment. In the words of Jack Johnson, "Where do all the good people go?" They're in the moment. And most people are all dwelling in the past or reaching into the future. So no wonder we can't see them.

I will specialise this blog. I think it will turn into a discovery blog. But it's organic.

Over and out.

I want to be Stronger and Faster

I just started reading The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris. I rate it. But read it with caution. I recently spent two days working in a food factory. 12 hour shifts. 3 days on, 3 days off. I left. It was disgusting. I was working on the waste hatch. I'm not a particularly emotional person, but I was almost in tears both days. They gave me a shovel to get rid of huge bins of rice, pasta, chicken and prawns. It was painful and to cut a long story short I got angry and walked away.

The people working in that place are battery humans.

There's an interesting correlation between the Wikileaks situation and the 4-Hour Body. Wikileaks uses huge vats of data and Tim creates huge vats of data. Both stand for a cause: the book is a man's dedication, his work, not work as a wage slave or even work as a CEO, benefiting a huge company and driving immense profits of which I'm sure this man is capable, but work of himself, driven by passion and engaging into society; the website is also a passion, driven by love and strength of decision, none of the leaks would have been possible without a personal decision regarding what is right and wrong and not what is productive and profitable. Data seems to be mixing with romanticism, and it's a potent mix.

My life has been on standby for a while. Whilst I thought and pondered. It's time to get moving and I want to shape myself. This is why the blog is called "I want to be Stronger and Faster."

I have an imbalance between my mental activity and my physical and I want to bring it back in harmony.

Hopefully using some principles I've discovered in the 4-Hour Body, I'll be able to achieve my goal of being Stronger and Faster, both mentally, physically and spiritually. I'll be gathering as much data on my different activities as possible in an attempt to prove to myself that I have progressed. (One of the principles in the book.)

First things first. "Everything popular is wrong."
