If you are looking at this page, no doubt you want to know more about this blog. Fair enough. I created this blog to document the progress that will be made at Toek’s Place. I hope to be updating the site and adding some dynamic content,… maybe. I’m trying to teach myself some pretty simple web design/development for my own consumption. I know enough html to put up a basic site, however I want to put up something with a little more pizzaz.
My first web pages I did when Geocities first opened up a very long time ago. After that I had a little bit of experience with WYSIWYG editors. This will be my premier attempts using Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver for web building. While installing WordPress I thought I might also develop a site based on the Joomla CMS platform. Other than documenting my progress being made with the website, I will probably post some links to interesting news and maybe some of my rants and an abstract thought or two along the way.
Now for a little background on me; My name is Toek. Toek is a gaming handle I started using way back during my Quake and MechWarrior: Mercenaries playing days. Those were the days I cut my first online multi-player teeth on. Kickin ass with a 14.4 dial-up modem connection! Anyway I liked the name and later bought the toeksplace.com domain name. So anyway my name is Toek and I like computer gaming, I’m married with two kids and we have two cats (Ra and Tula) and two birds (Poppy and Ziggy) African Grey (Timneh) and Green Cheeked Conure, respectively. I spend most of my time in our home office with the two birds.
I stay unemployed the majority of the time. I spend most of my free time on the internet surfing, gaming and tinkering with web design and development. When the weather permits I like to practice flying my mini electric radio control helicopter. I’ll probably be posting more about that later. And by the way, I think hemp can save man and the planet.
Edit: Adopted a Boxer puppy named Tyson Dec. 30,2009. Spunky dog, smart too! I’m trying my hand at some internet marketing. I’m trying to sort out building a list and banging some ideas together for developing some imformational products.
