I think I made my first website in 1998. Above there's an screen capture I took while I was editing my homepage back then. I used a regular text editor for AmigaOS.After I moved to Japan, in 2002, I also moved my homepage to a server here. Actually, my laboratory’s web server. I think I decided to call my site Hawk Home Hole around that time. People used to asked me about that strange name... Well, I’m going to disclose that information now.
Hawk was my nickname when I was active in the demoscene. It comes from my surname, which translated to English is Sparrowhawk. Sparrowhawk is too long, so I changed bird... Home... is obvious. My home page. And Hole.... I just finished reading Lord of The Rings around that time, and I imagined hobbits’ homes as if they were some kind of holes. Some birds also live in holes (no idea about sparrowhawks), so I thought it would be nice a name like Hawk Home Hole. But then, in Japan H means “hentai” (pervert), so HHH started to sound like some kind of embarrassing name...
So now what? I got my PhD last year, so I had to leave my laboratory and, with it, my HHH. That’s when I bought a web space and this new domain, endavid.com. I didn’t want to just migrate the old site here. I planned to make something new. I like to play with PHP and databases. But at the end of the day, I don’t have time for more programming after 10 hours of work...
So today I decided I will just use the easy-to-use tools I have for a decent starting page. Using iWeb’09 you can start a neat webpage very fast. Although it was fun making all those CSS style-sheets, XML & PHP based logs and some javascript fun, I better focus on contents this time. The problem with writing a blog with iWeb’09 is that it doesn’t leave much space for customization. For example, no idea how to add a space for comments here. But you can use the Talk page in my WikyBlog.
The name of “En David” comes (obviously) from my name. In Catalan, you put an article next to people’s names. In English, it would be like saying “the David”, or “el David” in Spanish.
And I guess that’s all you need (or you didn’t need) to know. I’ll keep track of the updates of this homepage on this blog, so you don’t need to search the site for new contents. 
よろしく〜 (´^ω^`)
