Bilingual blogging
It’s been way too long since I last blogged. One of the reasons was because I blogged more in Bahasa in my other blog - not that it’s that often, though. The other was the obvious: the comfort of procrastination (or simply: lazy).
After much and long being a reader of others’, I decided to blog in both languages. This is kinda expected, I guess, that eventually most bilingual bloggers will blog in both. I have no idea about the trilingual (or more) ones, though. So, this is my first attempt. Hopefully the percentage of former reason was greater than the later, otherwise this can be one of the last posts before entering hibernation (again) as well..
Actually, I tend to think that the audience of my two blogs is different. In gete ngeblog, I often only passed information I consumed from del.icio.us and other blogs to my friends who are, er.. less tech/comp-literate. While in here, I didn’t feel that I was adding more value by repeating what others had said. Of course I’m aware of the ‘trend/popularity setting’ effect by trackbacking etc. etc… so, yeah, it’s more to the laziness, too.
Although I always dislike and skip links-collection-only-blog-entries, this time I think I can’t avoid to do the same. Trying not to bore you, here are what I find interesting recently:
- The Dilbert Blog
Scott Adams, Dilbert’s author, recently started to blog. I wasn’t really aware that his witticism is enviable. I like it most when he explained why some of the strips were edited not the way he initially wanted them to be. Lots of insight. He even gave a free ebook titled “God’s Debris” in his last post. Quite fun, although I must agree to many Amazon.com’s reviews that it doesn’t really deliver its claim: thought experiment. To me, at least. But it’s short (128 pages) so still fun.
Uh oh, only this for now - my eyes are heavy. The rest will have to be continued next time. So will the Bahasa post.
