The Basics From this point going forward, the blog posts are going to get long and technical. Yes, they’ve been that way for awhile, but this is more so than they were before. Okay, if that hasn’t scared you away, I’ll get on with things. I hope that by now…
I express my joys and sadnesses about WordPress (mostly joy) and PHP (mostly sadness)
Now that we’re in the realm of programming languages, things are going to get quite a bit more technical. There isn’t too much to talk about if I don’t get into the fine details. There is little difference in the WHAT languages can do; it exists mostly in the HOW.…
Now that we’ve moved onto a programming language, there is either a lot to say or a little. A programming language is a way to break down everything into a number and organize those numbers in some way. That’s a super abstract way to put things, but everything you do…

Hello everyone, I think most everyone forgot about the Harper letter, and I have to admit I’m a bit slow in writing this too. I’ve been quite swamped, mostly in good ways, and it’s about time I write the blog post I wanted to about it. So you know what…
