Welcome, anyone who has come to this site after reading my resume. I have referenced this website as a demonstration of my skills—I hope you find it a satisfactory example.

This is what is commonly known as a “Web log”, or “blog” for short. It is essentially an online diary in which I can write occasionally. This means, however, that there are probably several articles, and related comments, that may contain offensive or otherwise suggestive language. I cannot take responsibility for the comments that have been posted here, as they are not moderated. That being said, I hope there is not any content on here, personal or otherwise, that is completely inappropriate for a showcase of my programming skills—if there is, then I apologize in advance.

This is my second attempt at a complex website, so it is much better than what I have done previously, but could still be improved upon. This was a learning experience for me, for which I am grateful. I have learned a lot by writing this, and if I were to construct a third website based on similar principals, I have no doubt that it would be another significant improvement. Now that my introduction is over, feel free to look around to see what this site can and cannot do. There are administrative tools that cannot be seen by everyone for security reasons, but I would be perfectly willing to discuss them with anyone who is interested.

I have posted a digital copy of my résumé here. Thank you for visiting!

Update

I’ve ceased to maintain the original website, and it now redirects you here, which at a minimum displays a custom template I’ve put together for my blog.

Here I am, yet again, on September 20, 2004. Yes, that means I’ve been in college for about a month now. It’s scary, isn’t it? I really need to update things around here a bit more often than I do. I think I’m surviving pretty well. I finally have a car, which is nice for the few times I want to go out to Wal-Mart, which has amounted to all of… twice, so far. I survived band camp, and three games now. But at the second game I got incredibly sunburned, so I’ve been recovering from that for the past week. It’s finally getting better, which is a good thing.

I haven’t had any real quizzes or exams just yet, so only time will show how those turn out. I hope I haven’t gotten into school above my head. The people in Hillcrest are great. Sure, we all have a few people that we don’t care for, but it’s not to the point of fighting or anything like that. It’s all very civil. The weather is perfect; I love it here. I showed this site to a couple people and they seemed reasonably impressed, which struck me as odd because this was just a pet project. Engineering Exploration (ENGE 1024) is the wost class ever. They changed the name this semester, but everyone still calls it EF (used to stand for Engineering Fundamentals), because it’s easier, quicker, and all the older students know what you’re talking about.

Well, that’s a pretty generic summary of what’s going on around here. I hope things work out in the end. Have a great day, everyone!
