The Butt Ugly Weblog

First Entry

Kasa is collecting the first entries of Finnish blogs. Quite a few of them are either "test message" or "Let me explain about this blog..."

I can still remember how my first message came along... I had been tweaking the system here and there (yes, I write my own blog platform, thankyouverymuch) for a few days, but I didn't want to start with a "Hello world" -post. I wanted to say something minimalistic yet profound, as significant as the first word of a child, but in the end all I could think about was the fact that a) I was frigging lonely but I couldn't say anything about it without appearing whiny, and b) it was REALLY cold outside. Something in the order of -30°C with a wind chill factor taking it down to -50 or so. I remember some friends in Oulu telling me on IRC that we had it warm in the South - it was even colder up there.

So there you go - that's the story of the first words of this blog.
