Bit tinkerer, electron tweaker, photographer and artist living in New Mexico (formerly Colorado, Michigan, Florida).

Website experience includes building and maintaining simple websites using HTML, CSS, Javascript and sometimes Drupal. With artwork and design ideas from my associate and partner Teresa, I built http://planets.ucf.edu/ but as I was only starting to learn Drupal at the time, it might not be the first thing to list in my portfolio. I handle the technical hosting and domain management for http://www.jeffcottwilson.com (I'm the Wilson there) and http://www.jeffcottdesigns.com/ for an excellent interior designer.

I also maintain, as time allows, http://www.celestialvibrations.com/ which is a fairly simple nearly static site. It could use a real CMS. Someday...

Most of my time is spent in art and science, not webwork. My latest projects include 3D animation with Blender, scientific software using Python, C++, D and Google's Go, rebuilding my own regrettably unmaintained website with a custom CMS using PHP and a database (more to learn the hard way how to build a CMS, not for savvy business reasons), studying for an MSEE degree, and teaching cats to do my work for me. Regrettably, the latter endeavor has been a total failure.

comment Text files vs. text in database
The text files I have in mind are neither html nor php (and not anything else recognizable to normal web developers) but a special markup I concocted, to be processed by a special php function. I'd be loading the file contents into a string var.

comment Text files vs. text in database
Ooh, I've been designing this site and haven't had a thought about search. Yup, that should be a feature.

+1, with 0.9 of that being for "it surprises users"

I think this what you intended to show. Revert if I'm wrong.

comment How to take back our domain name?
It would be best to not be a part of the market for those domain grabbers. If only everyone who had a domain taken away would agree.
