I'm a 34'ish year old web application developer from South Portland, Maine. I love meeting fellow techies, drop me a line if you want to talk shop.

Some minor tweaking to my “work-in-progress” ... I’m still looking for a better designed center column, I feel the yellow highlighting (a UI element that already exists in BBEDIT) of story titles is working well, but as you can see when a title is longer than one line of text all hell breaks loose.

We may be home finally, but life is still very demanding as you can imagine. There was a slight case of Jaundice that kept us from coming home on time, she needed 2 more days under a heat lamp to bring the yellow out of her skin. She’s looking great though and has fully recovered.
I promised some pictures of Ailee once we got home from the Hospital so here they are:

After 11 hours of complicated labor, my wife gave birth to our darling daughter, Ailee Jones, weighing in at 7 lbs 14 ounces, with starlight eyes and a quivering chin thats so cute you could just die. I’ve not been to bed yet but will post pictures when my wife and I get home from the hospital. For now I need some sleep but wanted to tell the world, my joy has come, and she’s gorgeous.

I’m no where near finished with this yet but thought I would post what I’ve put together so far and get some feedback.
I do not pretend to be a designer =)

I’ve been busy with Work lately but in my free time I’m designing a new theme for this site. I desire something a little more personal than what I have. The Fauna theme has been instrumental in getting me acquainted with the topic of Wordpress theme design, so I’m quite anxious to be starting over. I’ll post some screenshots of what I’m working on as I have them.

I’ve been developing web applications for some 10 years now. My routine is such that I almost always develop locally before uploading to a live server.
Through the years I’ve bought many new machines and had to tackle from scratch the installation/configuration of my development environment on each of them. Often, I loose my notes from each previous attempt and am forced to query the web for comprehensive how-to’s. No more!

It won’t be much longer until life as I know it comes to an end. I’ve been in the habit of enjoying my afternoons in one of many local air conditioned coffee shops, plugging away on my laptop until there is energy enough to begin the real work day from home. Lately with the heat as high as its been, that time comes later and later in the day. Which is fine, i don’t mind working late hours whatsoever, I’m often awake till 6am.

I am currently working on documenting the setup of my development environment which currently includes Darwinports, Apache2, MySQL5, PHP5, GD2, ImageMagick and Curl on Tiger (OS X 10.4.7). I find many incomplete walkthroughs online that never fully configure my installations the way I need them. Hopefully this walkthrough will be of use to others.

I dug these up from my historic collections. They are a handfull of sketches I did back in my highschool days. I’d like to get back into drawing again soon, I did soooo love to sketch.

You may notice this site in disarray over the next week or two. I’m new to Wordpress, its customization and blogging as a whole. However, I’m commited to getting my feet wet in all three so bare with me as I settle in and get comfortable with the software. I’m still working on customizing this excellent Fauna theme I found yesterday. Exciting stuff. Expect layout to be under constant revision.
Often times I will release code for free or go that extra distance to help others online. If my skills were useful to you, please consider a small donation. Thank you very much.
