About the blog and website
Hello! I just wanted to put up a post to explain what’s going on here…
I’ve had the domain name Cpugeni.com since 2001, the name came about from a friend who created me an AOL AIM account, he chose Cpugeni. It means CPU (central processing unit) genious. I guess because whilst we were at school I was known to be stuck to my computer. Anyway, its a kind of interesting name, and I’ve thought about thinking up a new name, but never have, partly because I use it as an alias whenever I’m signing up to various websites, a Google Search reveals that!
So back to the topic: The Blog – As an experiment I downloaded Community Server 2008 Express Edition and set it up on my test server (more about that in a later post) to see what it was all about. I like it, so much so I thought I would deploy it to my website and actually have a blog. Previously I’ve thought there’d be no point in me having a blog, but really, I think it’d be quite useful, so here it is.
I plan on getting into some customisation and funking it up a bit inline with my plans for the overall website – so watch this space!
The Website – As I said, I’ve had the domain since 2001, and for the first four years or so I made use of it, not much, but better than nothing, like the last 3 years or so :-/ So this is my push to do something with the website, to demonstrate what I’m capable of, to demonstrate some of the possibilities today's web technologies offer us, and of course to practice new things, which no doubt will greatly help for when I finally do the Microsoft exams to gain myself MCTS/MCPD status (more about this, again, in a later post!).
I will eventually get the main website “up”, I actually have a design (and implemented!) too so there's not much else to do… Just get it online!
