“Brian’s view of the shore” is my first website I’ve ever created. A fellow student in my “Technical communications” class (Fall/2012) at Saint Thomas did a presentation on “Blogging with Tumblr”, and this stirred up my creative juices. So I went about getting acquainted with WordPress and started development of this website. The intent is for it to be more of a complete website and not just a blog.
In case you just want to read my Blog, click on “Blog” on the Upper Menu Nav Bar, or click either of these following Links, otherwise, read on:
I learned how to code (using BASIC) in 9th grade on an HP 3000 timesharing system in High School (using teletypes – years before the invention of the PC). When I was 22, I started getting paid for doing what I love to do. I worked at Unisys in a variety of software development (and data center) positions for 29 years. I now work as a freelance contractor as a BMC Software(r) “Remedy” Software Developer.
While I probably have an unusual amount of interests, Model Railroading has been my first and foremost interest (having become aware of this hobby when I was 14). I started working on my first N-scale layout about 6 years ago, and due to some heavy feet dragging, it’s only about a third complete. My hang-up has to do with the laying of the track.
After twenty years of procrastination, I finally enrolled into the Graduate Program in Software at the University of Saint Thomas (Fall of 2012). This is a Master in Software Systems degree program, hopefully completing it around in late 2014 or sometime in 2015.
By the way, about the name of the website, no, it’s not ‘a view from the shore’, since I’m on my imaginary boat, on Lake Owasso, looking toward the shore, hence, ‘a view of the shore’.
