By Alex | Published: March 18, 2010
So I’ve been design­ing web sites for a while now, for profit, but I’ve been doing web design and related non­sense for nearly ten years. That is crazy to me; my first site was com­pletely hand coded, pow­ered by notepad. Oh how I hated the process! Now, it’s a funny foot­note in my life as I con­tinue to develop my skills and [...]

With respect to data pro­tec­tion (I'm not going to call it backup, peo­ple. I much pre­fer smarmy and fancy word­play. Then again shiny objects fas­ci­nate me, too!) jobs and such, there's a num­ber of ques­tions that one can expect to be asked. I know that for my cur­rent job I was asked how to set up a three way NDMP backup [...]

I've been think­ing quite a bit lately. I've been think­ing about my web design busi­ness. Sure, tons of peo­ple do web design, yet there remains a lot of work to be done and so many indi­vid­u­als and busi­nesses that need a hand in cre­at­ing their online pres­ence. I've had my busi­ness for a few years and have a mod­est num­ber of clients [...]
