Mightybs.com...not that mighty...
In wanting a website for the longest time, I finally broke down and bought a domain and am hosting at a co-workers home on his webserver (that I sold to him). A fine Dell 600SC server that holds up well over a business-level cable connection. My site has some shots of my home, my dog, and our newly decorated baby room (we're expecting real soon now). If you get bored and want to surf, check out www.mightybs.com and the baby section. Anyone know of a decent, free photo album for .NET that is simple to use (I can drag-n-drop photos to a directory and it will place them in the site with a description and all)?

Programming structure...
Programming structure...a hot topic at my workplace. We've fought over this topic for the last 2 years. Here's the deal. Two different approaches are mentioned.

The DataGrid Girl...
I just stumbled on a great blog entry by Tyson Dowd about the legacy of the DataGrid Girl (aka Marcie Robillard). Naming yourself after a cool .NET class is very daring, but cool nonetheless, as Tyson attempts to clear a name for himself. Thanks Tyson for making my day that much better. I'm looking through the .NET classes trying to make a name for myself...and I'm coming up short. I'll stick to coding rather than trying to be a celebrity in the community.

A quick introduction...
My name is Brian Swiger. I've been a developer for 8 years. My background is mostly military contracting (although I've never been in the military). My strengths are Visual Basic/VB.NET/ASP.NET although I have completed several Java/ColdFusion/PERL/JSP/C# projects. I enjoy my transition to .NET with VB because of the object-oriented aspects of the language. I currently work at ACI Worldwide, an e-payments software company, as a Web developer currently working with .NET technologies. I've worked at SAIC (a government contractor amongst other things), HDR (engineering/architecture), American Agrisurance (crop insurance, no longer in business), and e-Vansys, Inc. (a small dot-bomb that is no longer in business).

Bloggin' It Up
Thanks to Scott Watermasysk for this excellent weblog. I've always wanted to have my very own virtual soapbox, but was never given the chance. Thanks!
