A Little About Me

I've been writing software for over 25 years now in a variety of languages. My experience runs the gamut but is mostly rooted in UNIX-based platforms. More recently, I've taken up implementing websites using modern CMS systems such as WordPress and Drupal. I write plugins, style extensively with CSS, and fix bugs. My personal interests include photography, competitive swimming, agility training, and of course -- my dog!

For Hire

My skill set is strong and I'm always looking for a new challenge. I love to solve problems and am often called in to get projects back on track. Contact me and let's talk!

Where Have All the Comments Gone? (long time passing….)

04.09.13

If you’re a big Pete Seeger fan, you’ll recognize the title at least a little bit. Some of you may wonder why there is no way to comment on my posts. It’s as simple as – SPAM! From my logs, I know that I have viewers (yay! thank you :-D ) unfortunately there are way too many people worldwide who choose to spam my site along with millions of others for a mere $5 / 1000 sites. The shear numbers of spam messages I’ve been receiving make it difficult to sift through and find the good. That’s why no comments — there just isn’t enough of “me” to go around to keep the cruft off this site. If you want to chat with me about any of my posts, feel free to fill out the contact form. I’m here with coffee cup in hand ready to get sidetracked from my daily job.

Somehow I lost track of updating this blog. I’m not so sure it’s loss of interest as it was lack of time. Over the ensuing nearly 2 years, our lives have changed dramatically. The long and the short – I am now an age group coach with certifications along with being a master official (level 5 referee) and Anna has changed clubs again to be back with her old teammates.

Upgrading WordPress

04.09.13

With a move of servers, it was time to also consider upgrading WordPress & the themes I use. When this site and it’s sister site (silentadmin.gsans.com) were created, I had to do a few customizations in the underlying code beyond CSS styling to get the site to behave the way I expected. It was a painful installation and something I chose not to document in the hopes that over time I could “lose” those customizations.
