The Story of This Journal

I’ve always been a geek, and wanted to make my website since I was in elementary. I created a website in geocities someday in 2002, wearing white and blue, then started blogging in the same year, using upsaid. upsaid.com/puch. The blog has gone nowhere, but I still have a screenshot of it :P

At that time, I didn’t have any idea that a bunch of geeks also existed, somewhere behind their monitors talking with fingers on their keyboards. The first time I recognized them (or, it was them, who recognized me :P) was in year 2003. I met my favorite geeks who, for nowadays, would sound very, um, classic. I love to call them ‘Udhien generation’ anyhow, hehe.

I continued blogging using blogspot in 2003-2004 using shortened url: puty.tk. On 2004 I blogged with pmachine under subdomain puch.diki.or.id and then turned to be loyal Wordpress user (under subdomain logpuch.diki.or.id). God bless the chicken ;D. Then on 2007 I bought domain byputy.com with free hosting offer from Pujiono ‘Jalansutera‘. Unfortunately, both Diki and Puji seemed to forget keeping my archives, so I lost my posts from 2004-2007 or maybe early 2008. From 2008, I started to host and maintain my own blog, still under byputy.com, and still loyal with Wordpress :)

It’s hardly 3 paragraphs right now, but this journal has brought a stack of miracles for me. Experiences, projects, friends, not to mention an award ;). I hardly post regularly nowadays but I’ve been growing up with this journal as my home, and, nobody can ever be far enough not to come home anyway :)
