## BIO My computer work began about 1981 with very limited 8 bit computers and often in machine language, including direct interaction with hardware devices. By the mid-late 80s I got more involved in Dialin Bulletin Board Systems, such as Citadel, and started early programming utilizing internet email/newsgroups to better network such. I started with HTML/Web in the early 90s when it was still just in it's beginnings, and by the late 90s had gotten back fully to computers. I'm excited by new concepts, and definately dive in no holds barred sometimes. I'll research where there are unfilled details to get them in place so the project can go on, and complete. Given a good specification, everything goes great. I look forward to yours, and thanks in advance. ## Area of Expertise Programming wise, I am real current with PHP 5.3, Javascript, XHTML, and CSS SH/CSH/BASH/etc as well as Perl 5.x. I have a decent grip also on C programming within unix systems, as well as past heavy experience with ColdFusion, CGI/various languages supported in the typical server. On a lesser level, though still somewhat productively, I can also program C++, Java, Pascal, Modula-3, in most environments provided I have one to work with. Design wise, I'm more main layout/boxing, and making the boxes functional. Given a PSD, I can usually develop the HTML to provide the look, as well as PHP to generate PDFs from the same with a little more effort. Leveraging programming as well of course. When a subject interests me, I can write content as well. Sometimes simply to populate a site I am working on, while other times as a more integrated part of the bigger project. My most extensive Systems Administration is with FreeBSD Unix, though I have experience with most flavors going as far back as AT&T System V Unix, and most linux varients at one time or another too. I specialize in Custom FreeBSD installations built for performance/security within specific demands. Beyond these, I also work extensively with Apache 2.x, MySQL 5.x, various email servers, and more. If you have a need, you might want to ask. Some of the current software packages I am well versed in, are WordPress, Front Accounting, TCPDF, Pinnacle Cart, as well as many others of a little less extensive use, however I can quickly get up to speed on most things even if I haven't worked with before. I'm definately interested in anything that seems achievable, when there is a plan that's workable to completion.
