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…

A Soft Intro I’ve been doing mostly web development, so I’ll start there. Web development all starts when you visit a webpage. Your computer sends a request, and a server (just another computer that ‘serves’ the webpage) sends something back. How it decides what to send is called the backend,…

Rating: 3.5 stars I had this strange idea that I’d start to read some recently written science fiction to make sure that I don’t dislike all of it because I keep harping on how much I haven’t read anything written in the last ten years (okay, more than that, but…

Rating: 4 stars This is a book that really begs to me add a lot more nuance to a rating system. It’s a good book. I’d even say quite enjoyable, but it isn’t great, especially if you think about the implications of the story (as I do towards the end…
