About This Blog
This blog is a place where I hope to put the snippets and trimmings of my geek'dom ... code samples that have served me well, tech links and other such things that'll I find useful. In short, any time I have to Google something, I tend to post it here for others to find as well.
Also, having owned 'digital-penguin.com' for many years and having worked with many a fellow geek, this site also serves as a place where I can always be found.
