About dis website
About making content
Ah don always get some strange feeling about making content an advertising masef, an ah no really feel encouraged for do am. E no be only about how ah dey for internet; even for real life, promoting masef make me uncomfortable. Even when weti ah talk about masef na true, ah still feel say ah no di do di right thing. Ah think say e no really help oda people, especially people wey ah see say dem no succeed reach me. Ah fear say if ah boast about masef, dem go feel bad.
When e reach for share tins wey ah di do outside ma work life, like post for Instagram, dat strange feeling di come back. But later ah understand say di feeling wey ah think oda people fit get when dem see ma posts na actually di same reaction wey ah get when ah see person wey e happy, e succeed, an e look like say e always di do di right thing. E be like say dat person don always choose well an take correct steps. Ah understand say ah di envy dem for way wey no constructive. Na why sharing di feel wrong for me: ah think say e fit make jealousy for oda people.
But when ah no share, complete relief no di come too. For no share anything no be correct way for solve dat problem. Di answer come later when ah understand say ah need change how ah di look oda people ein posts about good times or difficult times for their life. Because even ma feeling about posts wey talk bad times no always comfortable. Ah suppose for sad, very sad, about post wey e no get real physical or psychological effect for me? Ah suppose pretend di bad feeling? Or ah suppose worry say maybe ah no feel bad enough about weti dem talk, then accept say dat one fit be okay? Ah still need think more about dese two kinds of posts an how ah di feel about dem.
Anyway, after di conference, people mention online presence many times an give constructive feedback. Dem talk about why personal an academic website important. Di idea say ah need ma own website, pass di profiles wey ah get for social media, don dey before, especially during ma master’s study. Now wey e don easy for build one, ah decide say making ma own website na one thing wey ah need complete.
Ma papa don keep dis domain name since 2000. E don wait make one day ein daughter fit use dis website. Even though ah don explain how ah feel about content creation an online presence, an whether ah approve am or no, now ah fit build one for di first time after more than twenty years. Maybe di only real problem wey ah need accept na say ah no get enough experience an knowledge for develop real website. Ah no fit make one even though ah graduate from Computer Engineering an work small time as software engineer. Di work no be web work, but still ah want thank dis AI time because e make website building possible, easy an fast.
Ah hope say ah go fit arrange di rest of di website as ah plan. Dese na di parts wey ah plan:
- Big influences for ma life
- Big moments for ma life
- TR/ENG: Turkish an English versions
- Website statistics
- Interactive demos
- For do / Wok di go on / Don finish: public interactive board for ma life goals an school plans
- Blog posts
- Cats: di chop brand wey ah use, automatic feeder an change water every day
- Personal
- Hobbies: ones wey ah don try, ones wey ah want try, an so on
- Book reviews
- Paper reviews
- Courses wey ah don assist
Plenty content dey because di main content wey ah suppose list, di papers wey ah don publish, never complete. Ah hope say e go enter later.
For blog posts an all di oda content wey ah di plan, ah want make content wey e truly transparent an honest, even with masef. Now ah see dis chance as way for share weti ah truly experience as student for ma university. When ah think about di value an power of open source an transparency, ah believe say dis action fit turn ma experience into resource for oda people wey di wonder how dis kind experience be for ma life. Dem see ma name for university assistants page, an some people di send me LinkedIn requests.
Dat one fit make ma life interesting, or even make me reference point for some people. Maybe ah be one of their role models or examples. So if ah share true experiences, ma website fit become information an useful resource for dem too.
Na di time for university choice for Turkey, an ah dey for promotion committee. Ah see students an their parents di try find correct resources an examples for dem. If ah fit post useful content for dis time, e fit help dem too.
Because ah feel somehow closed from society an ah di explain tins mostly when ah meet person face to face, di website fit be another action wey make sharing ma experience an knowledge open for everybody, no be only for Turkey but for di whole world. Na dis be ma motivation.
