Hello all!

Yeah, as the title says, hello all, or should I say hell-o all? Eh, whatever.

Hi, I'm Draggar, nice to meet you. Some friends of mine at work turned me onto this blog thing which is really odd since I have a few blogging sites up for other people and also I have Hurricane Web Logs but that site needs a hell of a lot of work (it looks very generic right now) and isn't really bloggish, but still a cool place to throw up pics and whatnot.

What do I do? I work in the IT department of a rather large company fixing their computers and managing the inventory in the tech room to make sure we have what we need and if we don't have it, we get it in. It's quite a mess now because the other techs aren't inventory geeks like I am and they've been short handed for almost a year now so I had quite the mess to clean up. But hey, I've spent about 10 hours on it the past two weeks and it's getting better (believe it or not).

On the side, I do some basic web programming. I have a few sites up, feel free to check them out:
DOTE Club - A local dog club.
Draggar's Universe which I hope to integrate this blog into in the near future. (Yes, this site needs some work)
South Florida K9 Services a local dog trainer.
German Shepherd Dog Directory (self explanatory) and so on.

I do this for fun, not to make money, but if I do make money with it then hey, more power to me. :) I'm also trying to learn Adobe Creative Suite (Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat, Illustrator and Photoshop) plus on the site I also dabble with Adobe Premier Elements (very cool program). Throw in some web programming languages like CSS, XHTML, XML, DHTML, Ajax, JavaScript, PHP, and MySql so my hands are a little full outside of work but I won't have any shame bragging about any little tricks I've learned recently. :D

I also like to do some digital imaging, photography, creative stuff, video editing, and so on. I have a digital camera and a camcorder that came with a docking station so I can easily entertain myself for hours on end, if needed.

Not much else to say other than I am a complete geek. I have 3 PCs at my desk plus a docking station for my work laptop. Yeah, I'm a computer geek, I also have computers in my closet (don't tell my wife) and parts up the wazoo all over including 3 hard drives on my desk (all internal and not attached).

Other hobbies include GOOD music, not the shit that is out today, I'm talking real good music. Most of the stuff is older than your average blogger, stuff like Styx, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John, and other typical classic rock stuff, plus 80s and some 90s. I also like medieval artillery and I do have not one, but two working trebuchets (take that word, spell checker!) on my desk I don't fire them often since it could break something but they look cool next to my Star Wars Lego sets. Did I say I was a geek? Also, living in south Florida you need to keep an eye on the weather so I have a weather station. I am getting th FTP settings set up with the software so I can upload my data to my web site (when that is up and running I'll post the link) plus I can record data as hurricanes and other tropical disturbances go though. Fun fun fun!!!

I am also on MySpace. I don't keep up with it that often but sometimes I do. You'll also see me posting on Customers Suck. The site is hilarious and helps me keep my sanity.

Well, time to go, I think I've babbled on long enough and I'll see you all on the flip side.

Edit: I noticed I don't like the way this template looks so I'll be playing with the CSS part of the page but if you have any suggestions, feel free to throw them my way. :)
