About the Site
This website is now powered by WordPress. My previous platform of choice was Movable Type, and before that I developed by hand. As has always been the case at Born Geek, strict XHTML 1.0 is used for markup and CSS is used for the visual presentation. Web Standards have long been important to me, and I highly recommend Jeffrey Zeldman’s book on the subject: Designing With Web Standards. This book single-handedly opened my eyes to the world of web standards; how glad I am to have seen the light!
Hosting is provided by DreamHost, where prices are cheap and features rich. Did you know that you can save up to $65.00 by using Born Geek as your referrer when you sign up with DreamHost? It’s easy: learn how.
About the Author
My name is Jonah Bishop and I live in Hillsborough, NC. I work as a System X tools developer at IBM where I write C++ test tools for IBM hardware. Outside of work I enjoy a number of computer related subjects: web development, programming, and my personal favorite, gaming.
In December of 2004 I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the Computer Science Department at North Carolina State University. I hope to further my education at some point, though I’m not sure when I’ll get around to doing that.
