Old man Intro

[jimwelchok]

I've been programming since 1972, working since 1976 in the embedded field. Using Linux for over 10 years. Doing volunteer websites for 6 years. Taught web mastering to Boy scouts. I want to move my "blog" here from pcusalist.blogspot.com A little blog has grown into a site needing a DB and forum. I did a PHP based inventory system for a football concession stand. Figured out how to use the PDF generator to do more than anyone had before.
