I have nothing to write about, so thats what I'll write about

As the title suggests, I have absolutely nothing to write about today. I've been putting off posting for days, so today I'm going to post something no matter how ridiculously pointless my post is. Feel free to waste some of your time reading it.

As I mentioned previously, I have nothing to write about. Nothing. Well actually I'm brimming with ideas as soon as I leave my computer, so I come running back and start writing only to find that whatever I'm writing about is not really that great and I don't really believe whatever I'm writing is interesting. Therefore today's post is about the most beautiful thing in the world (if it could be called that). Its about nothing. I realize I'm repeating whatever I said again and again, but hey this is a post about nothing in specific, what did you expect?

Then again, just because I have nothing to write about doesn't mean nothing's happened in my life since I last posted. I've played Portal for instance. I've finished my SDL wrapper and I've just started coding my brand-new Arkanoid clone, with updated graphics and all. I watched a very amusing video on how to become a celebrity. I learnt that playing around in Photoshop can give some very nice results.

Well that was a fairly long post, long than I've ever written anyway. Writing about nothing is quite interesting. In my quest for learning I've learnt one more thing today : do, and ideas will flow.

Good day everyone.

Some Websites I like

Here are a couple of websites I frequent:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com
Its a nice site for software that actually costs you money but you can have it for free if you download and install it with the same day that its offered. Note that you can use the software forever (theoretically), but you have to download and install the software on the day that it is offered. However, if you were to format your hard-disk or reinstall your OS, you'll lose your software. Your only way out is to buy the software.

http://www.cracked.com
This site is hilarious. Really hilarious. Check out their articles, especially the ones on video games.

http://www.google.com
:P
God I love Google.

oh and I also like:

I recommend you check it out, I found it to be some very interesting, life changing stuff.

So that concludes my posts for today. I know I could have put all that in one post, but I really like it better this way.

A little more about me

So as I promised, here's some info on me.

I'm a 16-year old Indian male (notice how I don't say "guy"). I like surfing (the web of course), writing C++ code and playing games in my crappy computer. At the moment I'm learning game programming in C++ and I'm working on an Arkanoid clone with SDL and C++. If you don't know what SDL means, don't worry, as I highly doubt it would improve your life in any appreciable way. Anyway, the game is a work in progress and is going well. I learnt everything about programming on my own and plan on learning a lot more. Also, it should be obvious by now, but if it isn't, then you should know that Alan Frost isn't my real name. Besides being too awesome a name for an ordinary mortal like me, Alan frost isn't a very Indian name.

So there you go, some useful info on me that should enlighten you in more ways than one.

First Post

Hello people!

This is my first post in my blog (you couldn't have guessed it!). Anyway, this blog exists because I wanted to write... stuff. I wanted to write a bit to get some experience in writing random stuff. I'm not really very confident about what I write, so this blog and the posts I make in it should give me some confidence. In any case, I plan to write on a wide range of topics from software, operating systems, coding (C++) and the internet in general. I'll tell you more about myself in my next blog post.
