Me
First, some background info. I’ve been a programmer most of my life, but now I’m a software developer. Not by choice, of course - I don’t think there’s a programmer out there who would prefer to be a software developer. It’s just that there’s no way to make a living as a programmer, outside of a university.
I’ve focused most of my attention on graphics programming - OpenGL, raytracing, shaders, photorealistic rendering, procedural texturing, etc. - but lately, I’ve done more with developing webapps. The difference between programming and developing is that when programming you ask “how can it be done”, and when developing you ask “how should it be done”.
As for this blog - it’s running on WordPress. I thought about using my blog software, which I’ve done in the past. Writing a basic blog is so simple, it’s been said to be modern-day equivalent of the “Hello world” program, but there’s a level of quality and stability that would just take too long to match.
I choose WordPress because of its popularity and ease of installation. I used MovableType before, but I’ve had issues getting it set up right. Plus, MovableType download requires registration, which is just silly.
