Hello World (Wide Web)!

It's my first blog post and I couldn't resist.

And being that it is (my first blog post), I'll introduce myself. My name is Chris Phillips. I'm a Web Application Developer. I work with ColdFusion, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL every day. I really enjoy my work.

A Little Personal History:

I tried a few other jobs before I fell into Web Development. Most of them were just a poor fit for my particular personality quirks.

Lining up all the parts of a widget at 45% angles on the table before I assembled them really upset my bosses at a previous job. They frequently pointed out that I was slower than the other employees at manufacturing widgets. To which I always responded, "Yes, but my widgets are crafted expertly and lovingly to the exact specifications".

Well, they weren't buying that. So, I started taking Web Design classes. Eventually I found ColdFusion. Now, I think that my attention to detail make me a really good fit for this profession.

Well, that's enough for now. I'll be posting some actual technical content soon.

Brian Swartzfager's Gravatar Hi, Chris.

Saw your Twitter badge blog post mention on Sean Corfield's blog, so thought I'd check out your blog and welcome you to the world of blogging.

Just FYI: you have a typo in your banner ("JavaSctipt").

Thanks for the pro bono editing. I'm looking for a spell-checker for Eclipse right now!

Chris Phillips's Gravatar John,
It was easy to set up BlogCFC. I just skimmed the install pdf and followed the instructions.
There is some cool CMS stuff in this version of BlogCFC. I'm looking forward to playing with it more as I go along.

Jack Phillips's Gravatar As I remember, I think your dad forced you to 'find' Coldfusion, as in "You're not doing another thing until you look at this.." Ya. That's the ticket. Loved the Gmail April Fools' joke.
