Always a work-in-progress, constantly evolving, and never finished. :)

A far cry from today's world of AI-generated websites, content management systems, Google workspaces, and Wix suites - but serving as a previous webmaster for enough WordPress and Joomla-maintained sites was more than enough experience to make me want to avoid them...

This site is hosted on a BlastZone Linux server on Debian (located somewhere around greater Puget Sound area of NW Washington) running PHPMyAdmin, PostFix, and the like. NameCheap domain registrar. After holding on to Microsoft Expression Web 4 for many, MANY moons - recent server security updates finally killed it. Microsoft Visual Studio Code does the job in terms of making edits, and uploading via FTP.

Through the passage of time this domain has lived under GoDaddy (as life IS full of dot-com moments!), SquirrelMail (if you know, you know...), and possibly others. A long term goal is to host everything on custom, in-house servers.

Former customer of Rackspace Technology, after their massive ransomware meltdown in 2022 - read about the class action lawsuit here.


Some current, ongoing web and IT projects:


Microsoft Office 365 business suite, with full Exchange Admin Center

DNS and email control panel on ISPConfig - web redirects, mailboxes, forwarders, and so on

Endless hard-coded surveys, questionnaires, and submission forms

PHP databases, with encryption

Backend support for Raspberry Pi Linux database hosted on an in-house server - maintained using SSH, SQL, Apache, and htpasswd (partnered with Roo Case)
