<?php echo "Hello World!" ?>
This first post is mostly a "Who the hell are you and why should I care?!?!?" type post. I'm Mike, I attend Cal Poly SLO where I'm pursuing a degree in English. Of course, if you read the description of this blog, you already know that. So, what's the meat of the story? I've been working with computers (in a completely random fashion mind you) since I was about seven years old.
It started with an innocent program "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" - which my parents required I use at least an hour a day - and somehow grew to what it is today. Speaking of today, a brief overview of my credentials might include: Microsoft AD, all Windows platforms, Network Hardware (consumer to large bussiness), IIS, Apache, Exchange, computer hardware, databases, PHP, ASP (and the obligatory VBScript, which is surpringly useful in windows admin scripts), AJAX, MS-DOS scripting, JavaScript, HTML, XML, CSS, (some) Perl, and an insanely steep learning curve. In fact, based solely on my knowledge of JavaScript, I taught myself ASP/VBScript in one day.
Mostly I'll be posting whatever has been bugging me lately, or what I'm working on. If I find something really exciting in a programming language, I'll likely share it. I'll probably also include some projects I'm working on for constructive criticism (by which I mean, "when you tear my mf head off, please leave at least a small piece of it attached to me").
The blog itself is currently going to be hosted by Blogger. This is for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is the time involved in reinventing this wheel. That of course means it has a blogspot address (http://englishtechnician.blogspot.com), but, it also has a web address (http://www.englishtechnician.com OR http://www.theenglishtechnician.com), and e-mail. If you're really cool, and you want an e-mail address, I'll be more than happy to provide (eg yourname@theenglishtechnician.com). If I ever move the blog, I'll update the two domain name links. No guarantees on the blogspot link.
I suppose that's it (for now). Now I just have to go finish setting those domains/emails up!
