Screws In My Coffee

Well I have finally gotten to the point of using my Linux box all the time here at home to develop my web site. I only have a few gripes with a few applications but generally I'm quite pleased.

Originally written on 20000828 OK what is this site all about. Well for the most part this is my learning tool to help me keep up with all this Internet stuff. I guess you could say I am a hobbyist that got tired of and gluing stuff together and cleaning up paint brushes and air-brush equipment. I started off converting my graphic skills into digital ones in the late 80's and was doing fairly well when I got bit by the Linux craze ten years later. I missed the beginning of the computer tinker age by not owning a Commadore 64. The first computer that I used was a mainframe system that I learned CAD on. My first job I used an IBM XT when I worked as a CAD drafter for a company in California. The first computer that I owned was the first color computer Apple made, a Mac IIFX. By then I was sick of DOS and loved the graphical user interface (GUI) that the Mac provided. So when I got wind of Linux, I knew that I had to try it. Now I do not consider myself a computer wiz or a programmer.
