Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere! From the title of this post, the main plan for this site is to give what I call a special blend of .NET development and Linux knowledge, along with my other random thoughts and ideas. :)

For those of you coming across this who don't know me (or would like to know more), I live in the Chicago area where my work primarily consists of ASP.NET/C# development using different technologies such as AJAX.NET, nHibernate and TypeMock to develop websites specifically for the needs of people inside the company I work for. I'm also involved with a LEGO®-based Half-Life 2 mod called Block Party, where I'm mainly responsible for the programming aspect as well as maintaining our development site. As far as Linux is concerned, I've been a fan since I bought my first RedHat Linux 4.2 discs from Best Buy over back in 1997. :) I've since latched onto Ubuntu, running it on my home computers as well as the Linode I'm using to host this site. I must say Linux has sure grown leaps and bounds from the time I first used it!

When I'm not plugging away with code or tweaking my home network, you can usually find me hitting up a couple different game servers on Team Fortress 2, which has definitely been my game of choice as of late. :)

Again welcome to my site and hope you enjoy your stay!
