My career has spanned a broad range of areas including: <ul> <li>Novell, NT, Unix Administration</li> <li>Networking (Switches, routers, etc)</li> <li>Digital Circuits (t1, t3, Oc3, etc)</li> <li>Java Development</li> <li>PHP / Ruby on Rails Development</li> </ul> Today I'm a software developer building and maintaining J2EE applications. I've been working with Java since 1998. Recently, I've been having a bit of a falling out with Java and have been moving toward more scripting based development methodologies using Ruby on Rails and PHP. Ruby on Rails especially has been a great experience compared to my years working with Java and I will probably write about my experiences here at great length. <br /><br /> Over the years I have compiled a large amount of HOWTOs and just general information for solving a wide variaty of problems. My goal with this website is to share these solutions and examine the future direction of the computer industry.
