Writing with a purpose

Image
By
The world is filled with persons performing different roles and functions. Writers and bloggers have their job also. I see my purpose as a local tech blogger to educate and inform. I make myself easy to contact and my comments are open for discussion. I consider all sides and I provide a local perspective.

The media needs more tech coverage and more tech writers. Tech should be given as much space as sports. There are not many local tech bloggers. I write about things that I would want to read. I created a space that I am looking for. The increasing democratisation of the internet is meaning that we want anyone to be able to start a blog. Our voices matter and we don't have to depend only on mainstream media.

I started blogging some 20 years ago before social media was popular. My first blog was called HAVEWORLD which was short for Hassan Voyeau's World. Then came TECHTT and then The Tech Remix. I have now settled on this space, Trinbago Techie, for the past 3 years. I have learned a lot. The more I write the better I get.

The other day I was asked on twitter about my writing process and I responded with, I keep it simple. I use Keep Notes where I jot down points. I do my research. Sometimes I ask for feedback. I create a draft that I refine then post. My writing is simple so that even the man on the street can understand. I try to remain personable and relatable. It helps that I am passionate about tech and making the world a better place through tech.

I found that writing is a way for me to express myself and be creative. Writing makes me question things. Writing makes me look at things beyond the surface. How can I share my beautiful mind with the world? I write. Words have power. Our writings and the content we create will outlive us. I write because I can. I can make a difference and so can you. I want to encourage others to join the local tech blogger space. I found this youtube, Why Write, and it resonnated with me. I feel the same way as him even though we write in different spaces and on different topics. I feel like at the core all writers are the same.

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...

Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub?

By
Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub? I saw this question online and it got me thinking. Who should be asking this question? Who should be answering this question? Do we have the data to answer this question? Besides data, what else do we need to answer this question? And when we have answers, who is going to do the work to change things? This is what my friend Chatty had to say: The question "Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub?" is really a question about history, capital, education, governance, culture, and coordination, not just technology. The Caribbean is often unfairly compared to places like Silicon Valley or Shenzhen without acknowledging that those regions benefited from massive investment, large markets, and long-term industrial planning, while Caribbean nations were shaped by colonial extraction, small fragmented markets, debt, and brain drain. We have some useful data, but not enough to fully understand the region’s digital potential, and data alone cannot answer ...
