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!!

  1. The Tao of Wordpress part II

    \n One of the things that became nessecary in my current project is the need to keep people from seeing Wordpress.  We don’t want the faculty to get confused.  So a simple redirect has to be placed in the wp-login.php file …

  2. How to become a Wordpress Ninja (Or the Tao of Wordpress) Part 1

    \n I’ve spent the past two months now hacking Wordpress into peices.  I’ve decided to share the wisdom that I’ve learned along the way here at my new Wordpress Blog. Here is a bit of background: …

  3. 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. …

  4. KDE Amarok and much, much more

    \n Okay, so yesterday was a very good (but long) day for the old Debian Sid system. I was sitting in my Unix class chatting with my good friend Ian on GoogleTalk (yes…bad me) and since the day before we had been talking about Music Players/Managers and iTunes/aTunes/Amarok, he sent me a link from the Amarok home page announcing the latest release candidate for Amarok 2. …

  5. Writting a Command Line Tool in Node Js.

    As I have been doing more and more in Node JS, it hit me that I have made a few sites, but never a command line tool. I am a big fan of the command line. So I thought, let me make a neat little tool just to see how it all fits together. …

  6. Some more Node JS Stuff (and some c9 love)

    As you can in all likelihood see, I am spending a bit more time using node js of late. I’ve played with it in the past and even blogged a bit about it. But recently, I’ve switched my blog to Ghost and a lot of the behind the scene stuff we are doing with one of my side projects is doing a lot more with node. …

  7. My typical server setup

    Setting up a server is a very important thing. Consistency is key. …

  8. Docker Cloud

    I’ve been playing around with Docker Cloud for a little project that I have going on at work. We are looking into using Codeship for continuous integration with this project, but we cannot use AWS. That kinda struck down the whole EC2 Container idea! :) …
