"God made me for War"

The first piece of software I wrote professonally was a chemical weapons attack similator for the United States Air Force.
This was done I think in Windows 3.1 with Visual Basic 3.0, when that was all state of the art technology. I did it on a 386-16SX I believe.
I first started writing code in 1983 with the intent to build computer wargames.
Now, I focus largely on Extranet technology. Extranet is just a mesh of Internet and Intranet technologies. It's kind of an outdated term. I worry more about writing these days than anything, and my eZine. |
WritingI started writing seven years ago. I recently came to the conclusion spending some time in the trenches as an editor would improve my style and ability. Over the years, I've had a fair number of readers, and everybody who has read my books have enjoyed them thoroughly. I've written seven novels and over 30 short stories. Some of those stories are posted on this site. I like to think I'm a qualified writer since I have a few college classes under my belt, but I also intend to continue in school. Some people would consider me a published writer, while others define that as getting into print, and I haven't done that yet. I hope to get a few ezine markets under my belt (six of my short pieces have been selected for publication including one paying market). I hope to take a few university level writing classes. Then in 2010 or sooner, I plan to start seeking out literary agents for the novels. Print Static Movement : The Slight Army MicroHorror : Trolls And Rabbits October Abandoned Towers : Ultraviolent Rodentia Sonar4 ezine : No Cigarettes More about my writing style and motivation. |
Short StoriesList Stories by ContentI take my writing very seriously, but I hope my readers never do. I write comedies, action, horror, fantasy, and romance. Sometimes all of those at the same time :) I studied English and Literature at Sinclair Community College for two years. I intend to move on to Wright State University in the Fall of '09. All stories are fiction, any similarity to persons living or dead is sheer coincidence. Many stories contain adult content, click List Stories by Content.

Information TechnologyI'm interested in a position in Dayton, OH. I could see telecommuting to Cincinnati, OH or Columbus, OH. Frankly, it's the modern era, I should be able to communicate with a client exclusively over the internet and telephone. I have PHP, PERL, and mySQL here at home. I can demo stuff on GeoffPorter.com, but I don't do hosting. I would love to work on small projects for small businesses. Perhaps you have a website already built in PHP or PERL and for some reason, you don't have the technology any more to make changes, and you'd like some minor adjustments made to it. Perhaps you want something simple and custom. No project is too small. I don't do visual design. It simply isn't a skill I have as you can likely tell from these pages. I have always gotten along great with graphics artists. I did graphics for many years in black and white, so I find I can relate to them well. If you need visual design work done, check out, Genuine Creative. I can be contacted via email at geoffporter@yahoo.com or on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) at TrulyJuxta. |
