Surprise! We found you.

Well Hello World!!

Until yesterday I was assuming that I was always talking to myself in this blog. Who would believe that out of the millions of blogs, there would be some traffic here (even if it was one or two people).

All I had to do was create a post with the word "ThoughtWorks" and add it into the tags and I was found out. This is not my real name, it was an alias when i started this experiment (blogging) in Feb.

I called my contact at ThoughtWorks 2 days after creating the new post to chat about other matters and I was asked about this blog, my blog ID etc. I was completely surprised (shocked) that it was found and traced to me. Apparently they read the posts and put 2 and 2 together.

All I could say was "WOW! That was fast and very impressive".

Even though it was flattering that someone has finally read these posts, it was actually very embarrassing, the earlier posts were plain stupid!. This would be the most embarrassing moment for me at ThoughtWorks (But technically I have not yet joined them).

I was even advised to use my actual name when I blog. I'm not sure. What say?

why am i up and searching for my Blog?

The stupidity continues.....

So I was up creating this blog (check the previous one) and I lose sleep over this....


So being the IT pro, and also supposedly I’m an expert on Google. I do a Search for my blog, and type in some keywords (blog name?) and click 'Search'...Bingo!!! 1 sec there's nothing. Now I try with more keywords (author, post name, anything) still zilch.

Okay now I have an idea, open the Google blog search window and find the blog. And..... Nothing. So now i'm stuck, I open the FAQs and read about searching or listing my blog, I go back make all the right settings for my blog to be visible to the masses (meanwhile hope keeps fading) and still no blog found!!!!

Now i'm really frustrated, I start cursing all the blogs and the bloggers, i'm tired and sleepy it was 2:15AM...all I want is to see my GOD DAMN stupid blog on the Google search results and ive spent like an hour trying to get famous through my blog..hahha..and nobody can even find it!!.

My ego gets a good beating, i'm an IT techie and for the love of god can't search&find my blog in Google. Am I that stupid?

So after a restless sleep, i'm here at the office trying the search again..... I SHALL PREVAIL!! and since I was bored and frustrated, i'm posting this...hoping hoping for the fame that I deserve (damn I should make this post visible to the millions)
