Hello World!

Hello world!

If this works, it means that I've managed to successfully connect my 2005 Blogger account to my Google account. If not, I'll probably make a new account or something.

So why have I finally started posting, after more than half a decade of inactivity? Well, a lecturer at my university believes that we ought to have a blog about "lectures", "life as a student at Birmingham", etc. I guess that's as good a reason as any, or not.

I'm thinking of moving this blog from joshuaissac.blogspot.com to blog.joshuaissac.com. Or maybe I'll keep it here...I don't know.

What else shall I write in my first blog post? Important events? Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, one of the most influential people in personal computing, parted with the world yesterday. His death is truly a loss to the IT industry.

I think I will end this post with some quotations:

Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created. [...] Steve was such an "original," with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. [...] I have lost a great friend. —Bill Gates

Naked a man comes from his mothers womb, and as he comes, so he departs. —Solomon
