About
Welcome to Chris Collins’ Blog.
I’m a Senior Software Engineer, working primarily in Java and related technologies. I tend to use this blog as a dumping ground for ideas and discussions. If I find a particularly useful script, or way of doing things, they tend to end up here. Posts are sporadic and wide ranging.
I’m also an avid Ubuntu user. Whenever I come across a problem (rarely), I usually post the solution. Hopefully this makes life easier for Ubuntu/Linux newcomers.
I hope you enjoy this blog, and that it proves useful. Let me know in the comments of your likes and dislikes.


I love ubuntu. In college, I fooled around with linux ( but not actually make the change ). I have no reason whatsoever to load anything else now.
Wait a minute. I am a “Senior Software Engineer”, working primarily in Java and related technologies (found your blog when searching for some Ant stuff), and an avid Ubuntu user, and my initials are “ccollins.”
You are stealing my MO man ;).

Hey Charlie,
Just forward on your credit card and social security numbers and the takeover will be complete :-)
Only kidding, welcome to the blog.
