For months... or even a year, I have been planning to join this platform, HIVE. But my time was so focused on read-cash and noise-cash. Somehow, I wasn't able to find the time to join HIVE. Last week, I tried to create a new account. Unfortunately, I got the "IP quality score is poor" message... or something like that. I was using our Wifi, provided by our cable TV service provider. I guess they have very limited public IP addresses.
I have to switched to my mobile data and use my phone to create an account. That's how I was able to create my account in Agency.
Hello, beeutiful people of Hive! My name is John from the Philippines. I came to Hive via @Bloghound's link.
Here's a little blooper when I created my account here. Five days ago, I created an account. However, I did not notice that I mis-spelled my user ID. Instead of jlinitiatives26, two of the i's went missing. I created jlinitatves26. I thought at first, I would just go with it. But it might cause some confusion.
I checked the Ecency FAQ page for a work around. The only suggested solution is to create a new account. So I did. I decided to use the same ID I used in read-cash, JLoberiza.
A Little Something About Me
I am a father of two young boys. I have a computer engineering background. Mostly, I worked in the field of Information Technology, particularly in the network infrastructure.

Lately, I started studying robotics and mobile app development.
But my passion lies elsewhere. I love to write and draw. Frankly speaking, I consider myself a frustrated comic-book artist. It's my passion that I did not focus on.

And oh... I love to teach as well. That's why I teach part-time in senior high in a private school here.
For over a year now, I have been writing mostly for read-cash and posting my photos and illustrations in noise-cash. I think I can do them all here.
To sum it here are the things that I love to do.
- Draw/design
- Write
- Watching TV (live action and anime)
- Photography
- Learn anything related to Information Technology
- Teach
These are just some of the things that I love to do and might share with you through my writing.
My Initial Impression On Hive.
Coming from another writing platform, I find Hive a bit complicated. Although I have encountered the idea of Hive Power, Delegations, and the other terms used here, I still need to study them deeper if I want to maximize my productivity here.
From what I have observed so far, my "voting power" is still zero. I need to find out how to get the value up.
I think I can find them in the FAQ and the article posted by @Jane1289 in read-cash. Hive Basics For BeginnersHive Basics For Beginners
It's quite a comprehensive article that can be of great help to newbies like me.
In closing.
My journey here in Hive is just about to start. And the best way to start a journey is to prepare. So I'm going to read the FAQs and the Hive Basics For Beginners article to learn more about this beeutiful platform
Until next time.
Thanks for reading.
