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!!


TextMate 2 Alpha Review

Well, a few days ago I downloaded the Alpha of TextMate 2. I must say that it is a nice little package. Perhaps one of the most notable changes is that of the project drawer being replaced by a file browser. Although I do miss the ability to load a specific project, I do find that the file browser makes up for it in a lot of ways. Of course, all my bundles and themes transfered right over and that is nice. As I use TM for my everyday coding, there are some features that I am currently unaware of. I hope to be able to sit back and visit some of the other new features and the improvments!
