Some of the News That's Not Fit to Print - Sunday, 10 October 2010

---

Welcome to my extreme! awesome corner of the web. This place serves as my public persona existing complementary to my Facebook account. For the most part I will showcase significant personal projects, post my resume, and provide some entertainment. Humor, thoughts, opinions, and news are generally short and are at the home page; other topics are available via the obvious navigation menu. I have this idea not to make this bloggy, but that thought may not pan out. Two things I have yet to handle for this website are a print media stylesheet and Safari browser testing. I will try to address those right away. The only question remaining is, "What is cheesedrive?"

In the beginning...

In my early days of programming, I spent a lot of time with two friends in particular, Will Eaton and Jason Van Camp. We did amateur software development together. One day out of nowhere, Will brains this idea of a floppy drive sucking in a slice of cheese and writes a line of code becoming one of the most memorable moments in our history:
if A:\ = "cheese" then suckin:
The syntax was for a BASIC programming language we used called ASIC. Lately, I modified our familiar phrase for C/C++ syntax, and it is the official title of this website.
if (A:\> == "cheese") Suck_in( );
