When I made my first web page, it was the summer of 1994. I was about to enter my senior year of college at Worcester Polytechnic Institute as a Computer Science major. I had discovered Gopher the same summer, but “the World Wide Web” won me over very quickly because it had images and it […]
Read More PatrickD’s Link to the WorldIt’s been a year since I last updated Pitas. In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve moved to LiveJournal. Go figure.
Read More PitasI work at this place in case you’re curious. What the article doesn’t mention is how the place is all old wood inside those brick walls. …wood that was soaked in oil, grease, and other nasty stuff when there was a lot of machinery here. One spark and we’re all DOOMED!
Read More Maynard, rhinestone of the Assabet RiverYes, it’s true. Although I did not make the decision to do this, I am the sole person responsible for coding it. Ugh. Emphasis is mine. Comic Sans is theirs. Dear Monster Associates: With 15.5M monthly Unique Visitors and more than 10% reach of the entire Internet, Monster is widely recognized as the leader in […]

Read More AX FlightA while back I mentioned my big ol’ debt. It’s finally paid off, thanks in large part to my federal tax return and a couple paychecks from my gig teaching Web Design for Northeastern. That “Ways I can raise money to pay off several thousand dollars of debt” list I made? I never did numbers […]
Read More Debt free!I’m still trying to finish up the new online registration system for Anime Boston 2004. When it’s done, it’s gonna be seriously sweet…but to keep from going completely insane (hours and hours of Perl coding can do that to a person), I’ve been messing around with some pages. The AMV rules and some of the […]
Read More Anime Boston 2004: The Web Sitejnik moved in on Sunday and we’ve been unpacking, setting stuff up, or fixing things since then. I’ve also been trying to finish the new and improved Anime Boston online pre-registration system in between…which hasn’t left a whole lot of time for other things. I’ve got a whole backlog of e-mail I really need to […]
Read More BackloggedSo, as mentioned previously, I have a LiveJournal account now. I’ve been mirroring my LJ posts here (and my Pitas posts there) except for those silly polls which I only keep on LJ (because they ARE silly). Anyway, LJ is painfully slow on a fairly regular basis.
