Personal Webpage of David Duggins

Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!

A little bit of an update

\n It’s been a little bit of a while since I’ve written anything. Here are a few updates. I switched to Ubuntu (but it fucking sucks as a development enviroment so I’ll be switching soon to something else. Don’t know yet…maybe I’ll try SuSE 11. I might go back to Gentoo…not sure just yet.

Recently, I’ve been using Songbird for my media player Get it here. I think that I’ll be using this for a while. I also started using Aptana

for my IDE. It is based on Eclipse and is pretty sweet.

I am currently working for the Instructional Design department of Midlands Technical College. I am hacking wordpress like a ninja. A Wordpress Ninja! Yeah!
