lorem ipsum

It only makes sense for my first blog to be title lorem ipsum. Developers would be familiar with the following paragraph or a derivation thereof.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam fermentum vestibulum est. Cras rhoncus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Sed quis tortor. Donec non ipsum. Mauris condimentum, odio nec porta tristique, ante neque malesuada massa, in dignissim eros velit at tellus. Donec et risus in ligula eleifend consectetuer. Donec volutpat eleifend augue. Integer gravida sodales leo. Nunc vehicula neque ac erat. Vivamus non nisl. Fusce ac magna. Suspendisse euismod libero eget mauris

why use it?
It is commonly used as place holder text for displaying a pages design, font, formatting etc.

the reader is often distracted by the content of a page which distracts from the intention of viewing it.

what does it mean?
contrary to popular belief, lorem ipsum is classical Latin and not fictional words.

The text comes from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC

“Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit…”
“There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain…” lipsum

Seems fitting, anybody who has ever developed and during a conceptual walk through had the content and not concept critiqued can relate.
