Do not forget what you already know
This site is a test bed for everything I learn and is mostly for my own benefit. As such it may be down from time to time and is subject to frequent changes.
My passions include Slackware Linux, Coldfusion, Railo, JQuery, MSSQL Server and MySQL. You will often see me deep into the latest publication of a web design magazine or a man printout.
If you would like to know more about me, I am currently in the process of building an about page.
