this christmas feels like the very first christmas to me
:shittydog::shittydog::shittydog:
Overview > Motivation

Why am I doing this? Because I have the required knowledge, will and resources. More specifically:
I am an experienced software developer, who has worked on a wide variety of projects involving desktop- (Windows) and web-based developments. I specialise in from-scratch algorithm building, in numerical modelling and in solving any kind of data-related problem. I am particularly good at facing more-or-less complex situations without performing any pre-research (and this is basically what I will be doing here).

Recently, I have gone through an eye-opening professional experience, which has made me to rethink everything. This project will certainly represent the medium-/long-term goal, which I need now at the professional level.

Just one resource is required to accomplish what I want: time; and I have plenty of it. Just to clarify: all this time comes from the certainty and peace of mind, which result from the point above; nothing to do with my financial situation.
You can find more information about all this in the blog

Creating a Proper Web Search Engine from Scratch
Cancellation Reasons

This project was cancelled because the intended goal (i.e., building a good enough web search engine or, initially, a good enough indexing system) was proven impossible under the intended conditions (i.e., a zero-budget policy is not acceptable when relevant hardware enhancements are required since an early stage). That's why and technically speaking, this project might have also be considered completed, but with a non-ideal conclusion (i.e., "what was expected cannot be accomplished under the proposed conditions" rather than "here is the expected result").

Nevertheless, this project has delivered quite a few relevant outputs as shown in the following references:
The blog of this project. It also includes some references to other projects in varocarbas.com, but most of its contents refer to this Project 1 (e.g., performance/server issues, parsing-related problems, coordination of bots, classification of the information, etc.).
The RSS feed of this project (stage 2).
The tweets in my twitter.com account related to this project. All the main references to this project start with "PROJECT 1" (English) or "PROYECTO 1" (Spanish).

I used to write like that to myself. I don't know, I bet it's a common teen thing.
