Welcome.<\/p>\n<p>I am a software developer by trade &#8211; and by inclination.  This weblog will be my attempt to learn more about the technologies of the web, and to document what I learn.  <\/p>\n<p>I have several initial goals.  The first is to learn <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blosxom.com\">Blosxom<\/a>, the blogging software which powers this site.  I intend to document how the site is put together as I proceed.  My next goal is to better learn <span class=\"caps\">CSS<\/span> by evolving the design of this site.  Hopefully this will proceed quickly, for the current look can surely use the help.  At certain milestones in the site design (as I see fit), I intend to &#8216;archive&#8217; the site design by copying the current Blosxom flavor and <span class=\"caps\">CSS<\/span> stylesheets to keep for future reference.  With luck, this will be instructive.<\/p>\n<p>My final goal is to document the little tidbits of useful knowledge that always seem to be forgotten when later needed.  These may be bugfixes, workarounds, or clever hacks for any product or technology I come in contact with.  Hopefully they will help others as they help me.<\/p>\n<p>In between all of this, I&#8217;ll try to comment on whatever else comes along.  This is my first attempt at ongoing writing, and that may be the biggest learning experience of all.  Committing thought to text requires more thought than just thinking.
