Look ma, i'm blogging Wink

I am mostly going to talk about web programming. I may throw in some comments about whats happening in the world but I will try to keep those to a minimum.

I'm Jeffery Seiffert a live in Tomball Texas which is right next to Houston Texas. I have been in computers sense 1989, started out building clone computers at a small company. This is back when they were still selling 8088 computers. I think they went to maybe 16Mhz on that processor.

So I've been through the x86 series, 286, 386, 386sx, 486, I think they had a 486sx too, Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, etc.. I think I stopped building computers around the 386/486 and became an onsite service technician.

I did this until about 1996 when I went to work for a Air freight company as a Novell Server Administrator/PC Tech. I went on to learn Windows NT 3.51/4.0 server and workstation. I purchased books and took the tests for the MCSE certification and passed every test.

I then left the company to start a business with my brother. We wanted to pre-wire homes for high speed networks. That didn't work out because the Home builders didn't want to pay for professional wiring even though the home buyer would pay for it. Instead they used the electricians to install cat 5 for phones to a central location. My brother and I Set up many home networks using the pre-installed cat 5 and running new cables to locations where there wasn't a phone. Running cables after the home is built is a tough deal. So our business didn't go as planned, we came up with a prototype house wiring box because the ones on the market were terrible. But we couldn't find any funding so that didn't work either. This is the time everyone was putting their money in the Dot Com companies, then the Dot Com companies mostly bombed so we tried again to get funding but no go. During that time I had learned web programming and was putting web sites together for a graphics design company. So thats what I'm doing now.

I am not an expert but I'm pretty good at making small web applications that connect to SQL server so If your in need of that let me know. I do my ASP.NET programming in C#.

I can also put together websites from a design in Photoshop and Illustrator documents. See my web site for more information. http://www.dragonwebprogramming.com

Well not sure what else to say so I'll end it here.

Thanks for reading my blog and I hope you will find informaiton that will help you with your programming.

 

Thanks,
