I Am Jumbled Coffee Thoughts

I’m a technical writer and currently trying my hand on creative writing for a change. All those IT jargons are killing me already. We techwriters work closely with programmers or software engineers and document the applications they develop.  If you know programmers, you’re aware that this is the part of programming that they truly hate.  They know how to do the program, all those complex codes and stuff but they don’t know how to translate what they did (which is usually Greek to us) to good ol’ plain English.

Though it’s possible that they know how to write their projects, but just don’t want to do it altogether. And there is this other scenario where programmers do write their stuff but you’ll need an interpreter to understand it because they tend to present it in a rather i’m-sure-you-know-how-to-do-this manner.

That’s why we technical writers came into existence in the world of information technology.  We simplify and “translate” their language into plain English. Sounds easy enough but I’m telling you, it’s not. But very challenging and fulfilling when the project’s right.

Why the weblog name? My head is a jumble of thoughts (not personalities! i swear!) and I love brewed coffee. And I just thought to mix it all up for my weblog.  I love listening to good music (and that ranges from jazz, alternative, pop, oldies and adult-oriented rock). I love reading books and magazines. I love dressing up. I love watching movies… and most of all, I would love to keep this weblog more updated! *wink*
