I Can't Focus: Static Archives

Ye Olde Archives

Here's my all in one approach. Maybe I'll segment this more when it gets unwielding.

Copious Linkage

At some point I'll try and categorize these. Until then, it's a free for all!

About The Author

Who's on first?

What's on second. Third base. I don't give a darn.

Who?

Just the fax ma'm:

my bills come addressed to Christopher H. Laco
30ish years of age and counting
there's no place more exciting than Akron, Ohio
at work, they claim I am the Jack of all trades, Webmaster of none

What?

This sites construction is a huge departure from where I was a year ago. Not to mention that it probably is way more complicated than it has to be for 90% of it's content, but that is on purpose. :-)

Stop back later. I plan up creating a section under Projects that goes into great detail of how I built this site.

When?

While you are reading this, I am furiously not working on this site. That's what the trained shaved monkeys are for.

Where?

Good ole' Tallmadge, Ohio. Yes, that's right. The excitement capital of northeast Ohio. NOT.

Why?

This site is my attempt to get back into the website creation groove.

It's been far too long since I've had a personal website, and I need to scratch that itch. Plus, I have way to many opinions about various topics to keep under wraps any more. I've spent the last year or so maintaining existing websites @work and @home, and now it's time to get back on the wagon.

The other reasons I built this website:

Because I can damnit, because I can!
Force myself to get my new servers operational.
Get converted away from Windblows web development
Learn more FreeBSD stuffs
The monkeys made me do it!@#$%
Learn more Perl stuffs
To much free time on my hands
Learn more AxKit stuffs
Taunt others from afar
Learn more Apachestuffs
And get converted away from Windblows webdevelopment!

I swear it wasn't me.

This is what we call evidence. Proof positive. Proof of what I have no idea.
