Hello

Welcome to my blog.  I will attempt to write on here once a day.  I will inevitably fail, however, once a day is a suitable maxim.  These meta-posts (posts about blogging) are the easiest to write since they require little research.  I have set myself the following goals (and non-goals):

• To use at least one word whose exact meaning I have had to look up.
• To publish thoughts even if they are 'wrong', and acknowledge that the process of being corrected is a little humiliating, but certainly better than remaining an ignorant fool. 
• To not mindlessly propagate memes.
• To avoid jargon; there will be no lazy-initialised singleton factory beans here.

I will probably add to these, but they seem like a suitable starting point.  Wish me luck!
