The Life and Times of AJ

Updated from sunny Hong Kong!

The haitus has been a bit longer than I anticipated, but a lot has happened!

The start of a new beginning

Tomorrow I begin a four week course, “Cambridge ESOL Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA)” at ATTC.

By all reports it’s pretty full on, 9-5:30 weekdays with homework every night as well as some weekend prep time being required. I sure won’t be bored!

This is a bit of a deviation from my existing career in CFML web development, and there’s a good reason for that!

Setting up Octopress under OS X Lion … nothing is simple these days!

My first post

So I’m expanding my repertoire and came across Octopress, “A blogging framework for hackers”. It publishes static html (so it’s performant) pages which you can create using markdown syntax (so it’s easy to code) and can publish straight to github (so your code is open and freely available). Everything is open source and lovely!
