Bio

Now retired dinosaur developer and IT architect who’s programmed professionally since punching card decks for the IBM s/360-65, and developing personal software since the Intel 8080 and 300 baud modems.

WordPress Origin Story

Came to WordPress after having developed my own PHP infrastructure, but looking for a community supported base rather than a proprietary one. Was enthused with BuddyPress as a community platform, but disenchanted with the WordPress core, primarily around security issues. Moved to Drupal based on an evaluation published on ArchitectedFutures.info. Moved back to WordPress as a platform that is more approachable for portal development by individual authors.
