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!!

My new Mac Desktop (at work)

\n I got a new mac at my job. I opted for a Mac Mini, fully upgraded to 4gigs of ram and a single 500gb harddrive. I also got two 20” HD LCD monitors. It’s a sweet deal. Here is a side-by-side screen shot of both on the desktop.

Since I use the machine mainly for web-development, I have a slew of browsers installed, including IE8 via Windows 7, Bootcamp and Parallels. I created aliases for each browser and placed them in a stack on the dock for easy access

Another thing I like to do is use the Secret plugin to hide the desktop and then load the desktop via a stack on the dock as well.
