Chocolate for Dogs

I hate these things, but I feel I need to put it. Mainly so I can write my posts without feeling like I need to spend two pages on background information for a two paragraph post.

First off, I’m a software/web developer, mostly ASP.NET with C# but I’ve been known to sneak my way into some native C++ code at work (and everytime I do I get reminded how much I prefer C#). Programming is also one of my main hobbies; like a lot of developers I spend a good portion of my free time coming up with ideas that may or may not be useful at work but are neat little problems to solve (in my opinion, at least.)

Aside from software development, I’m also a writer. No, I haven’t published anything yet–I know by many measures that means I’m not able to call myself a writer, but I won’t argue semantics. I write; ergo I’m a writer. I’ve written four short stories that I consider “completed”, meaning I’m too lazy to find the rest of problems with them, and a novel that’s available here.

For personal details, I’m married to a beautiful woman, and we have a two-year-old beagle with near constant separation anxiety (Chloe) and a one-year-old cat we “rescued” from stray-dom (Charlie).That’s pretty much all there is “about” me; anything else that needs to be said will surely be said in time.
