Trying out this blogging thing again
Trying out this blogging thing again
This is, i think, the third time I have tried to setup a blog. I hope to be talking about a number of things on this site.
Here are the topics that interest me:
- MythTV
- Application Development
- Podcasting
- Linux
- Cooking
MythTV
I am the co-host of the MythTV Cast podcast. You can find us over at http://mythtvcast.com. The podcast is a small, niche, podcast centered around MythTV. We arent associated with MythTV in any way, but we wanted put together a show where we could highlight news and developments with the project, as well as interview key people associated in or around the project. Check us.
Application Development
I am an application developer specializing mostly Java Enterprise applications. I mostly develop with the Spring Framework. I tend to focus more on web-based applications and have been focusing on HTHML5 and CSS3. This has also lead me more into into integrating the web and mobile applications, specifically on the Android platform.
The first app I published in the Android Market is OpenSchedule for Android. It is a very specific app for attending conferences. I am currently working on version 2 of the application.
Podcasting
As I mentioned above, I am the co-host of the MythTV Cast podcast. I am also a regular co-host on the Linux Link Tech Show. We meet live every Wednesday night at 8:30 pm EST and we talk about Linux and all types of technology.
I live in podcasts every day. They run all day long on my Android phone as I am doing my work. I will be posting links to my regular podcasts in a future posting.
Linux
I live in Linux every day. I run Ubuntu Linux on my work laptop as well as my MythTV boxes at home. I hope to address some news and topics as they come up as well as issues that I run into (although, this seems far less than a few years ago). If you are interested in how I got into linux, check my bio on the tllts.org web site.
Cooking
I know this is completely unrelated to all the other technology based topics I have mentioned, but it is, quite possibly, my favorite thing to do. I will try almost any food as well as try to make almost any dish. My wife and I have gone to numerous cooking classes and we are always trying new things.
This is a little about what I intend to put here. I am going to try to post some stuff here on a somewhat consistent basis, but, if past experience tells me anything, dont expect too much :) For some reason, I have been getting the itch to write some things down lately, and I hope this will be that place for me to do that.
I will post these out to my various social networks when I do post. Speaking of which, you can find me on Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Identi.ca. I am dmfrey everywhere.
