Looks like I finally got back to working on the web site again. I didn’t realize I had so many broken links. I really despise broken links so I worked hard to correct them tonight. In that process I added and updated a lot of content on the About, Services, and Contact pages. So go forth and learn about me.
Something that is mentioned in the About page is my recent move to Epic in Madison, Wisconsin. I moved up here in March and have been enjoying nearly every minute of it.
It appears I had a short hiatus from this site. I suppose that is one of the big problems about how I operate. I have lots of great ideas and start lots of projects, but then I get wrapped up in the new project and sort of neglect the infantile projects. The plus side to my operations is that I can quickly pick a project back up and continue where I left off.
One of those new projects began at work. I launched a concept for an updated product based off of our platform control board. The control board itself was designed for this very idea. All that is needed is a new (or modified) program. It is that very program that has taken most of my time as of late. I jumped head first into embedded C++ so I’ve had to teach myself a good bit of things before I can produce funtional code. It’s a nice break from the norm.
I installed WordPress on this site last night. I’m sure I spent over 2 hours just getting the layout tweaked to match the rest of the site. I’ve really not found a nice journal program that integrates easily with an existing layout or theme. Somebody should really get on writing a program like that. Maybe that can be a project for my spare time. HAHA.
I’ve also come to realize I really need to brush up on my PHP skills. WordPress does about everything in PHP and I can tweak what they’ve done but I know I couldn’t write original code to do this anymore. It really is true, use it or lose it. Thankfully, code comes pretty naturally to me so I think I can pick it back up quickly.
