Welcome

Hello and welcome to my site. I guess this is where I'm supposed to tell you all the nifty parts that you can check out, but, eh, we'll get to that soon enough. There's also the "why are you doing this" question to answer and that one's easy - self aggrandizement. Isn't that the entire purpose of the internet? o.o? No? Oh, well, in that case ... Um, why am I doing this?

Well, on one hand, it's a lot easier to tell someone, "Go to my site, read my books in progress - Red Mage Rising  and Bright Born  - and then tell me I never stick with anything!" ... or, yeah, there's the poetry , too. If you never inflict your poems on the masses, you've never written crappy poetry - after all, authors don't get to decide what's crappy or not. That's what critics are for. And, I have lots of "how things could be better" ideas and rants  about the idiocies in our society, ah, sorry, criticisms of the current status quo (and the quid pro quo and a few other fancy latin terms).

Then, well, at some point, I hope to get my fun little side project up and running - I'm not going to unveil that until I'm further along (as in it might just get done this decade!). And there's learning ASP.NET - it looks like it could be useful. PHP is fine and dandy, but, I gotta admit, I'm a Windows(r) girl. Trying to learn PHP in a Windows environment is like asking for a user manual for the GIMP. It's so smothered with Linux enthusiasts that I actually don't feel like the geek of the week on the PHP help forums (and, yes, you are a geek if you think Linux is easier to use than Windows or even - ick - Mac's proprietary OS).

Not only that, but having my links page  in an easy to get at place means I can squander lots of time checking back on other people's nifty pages - or, again, it makes it easier to share with other folks.

And when I get the "Shay's Recipies" portion up and running, well, that also means an easier time sharing one of my favorite past times.

So I guess we've gone over the nifty parts to check out - my Opinions, Stories, Poems, and Links. So, go on, have fun now!
