WHY IS THIS BLOG SPACE?

I have tried several Blog spaces before, the earliest was back to 2004. Not even one last long. Why am I starting this one again?

First, I am learning hard to be Linux/Storage System Administrator. I need write notes, summary. Having a public space to post, it likes a reminder to keep me moving. Don't be lazy!
Second, I am using Google Documents, and I would like to publish some of my technical notes into the public. There is a link from Google Doc to post documents to Blogger, it is easier.
Third, I used to write in Chinese, my native language. Now, I am living in a English speaking country, I need improve my English. Writing, is always good for improving.

Then why Athabasca,
Athabasca is a river in north of Canada, finally drains into Arctic Ocean after 1231km journey. Living in a north country, you will be thinking about snow, ice, glacier, north pole, northen light. While such a river connecting the white icy Arctic world and the Rochie Mountain, it represents my dream about heading into the end of green world, or staring of while world.
