about:website

I had to make sure that the 16th time I decided to revamp this place, it was going to be for the long term. Combining web services and merging them to establish my central internet identity was a major driving force behind this revision. This is essentially my way of leaving my mark on the world, or at least in Google .

Facebook (status updates), Last.fm (music statistics), YouTube (favourite videos), and any other web services will have their data aggregated here to represent, well, me. Think of it as a feed aggregator, with the intention of having a personal copy of your social life on the Internet. The data that is fetched from these web services will be parsed and stored in the MySQL database, which can later be looked up for events that have occurred.

Don’t you wish you could keep all those cool (and at times, lame) status messages and quotations you come up with and post on Facebook in a safe place? Imagine having a record of all your status updates saved outside of Facebook, visible to the entire world. Kind of like Micro-blogging. Imagine revisiting your thoughts 5 years down the line and evaluating yourself. That’s your evolution, and for me, this website is about evolving. Constantly changing, yet, fundamentally remaining the same.

“Evolve, and let the chips fall where they may.”
