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.

-Chris

    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 ;).

    Hello Mr. Collins , My name is Deron Kosloski, I am an old guy inspiring to be a programmer, trying to get my BS in IT, I know, but while doing research on the history SQL I ran across your site and noticed you were well seasoned and can be considered an expert in your field, was wondering if I can use your material, History of SQL,paraphrased of course in my assignment if properly cited in APA format.

    With Great respect

    Deron

        Thank You, this asking for permission was more out of respect for you, than being legal, but being legal doesn’t hurt either. If I come across any new material, or material that will help enhance your topics I will be sure to add it to your site, again Thank You, oh I am ordering my Raspberry Pi today, it is your fault :)

        You won’t be disappointed! I love my Pi!
