About the site

This site was started in 2007-2008 as a way to record some of my thoughts on computer science. It has evolved to include occasional guest writers, tutorials and some of my experiences in grad school. When I started the blog, I was in my first real computer job as a web developer straight out of undergraduate university. Since then I have finished a masters degree and am currently working on a doctorate.

The aim of the site now is to informally record some of my research, projects and some tutorials on tools that I use (I have actually found some helpful when I go back and re-install myself if I have the steps I used previously for configuration). Occasionally, I write about conferences or papers I have presented, sometimes with the slides or links to the paper.

The site itself uses WordPress which uses PHP, XHMTL and CSS to display the pages. The templates were created myself and the site is heavily customized. If you are interested in any of the features of this site, check out the projects page. The feature you are looking for may be released as a WordPress plugin or other open source code.
