I used to be a web developer.

Even as I write that, I don’t believe it. For about four years during the late nineties and early naughties, I worked exclusively developing COM components for use behind ASP pages.

Six years later, what I learned is both faded and obsolete.

I’ve never really accepted that I’m not a web developer anymore. This site is a perfect example of that. Currently, it’s just a blog, but I’ve always had an eye towards making it a fully-functional website with a front page, articles and everything.
