My DjangoCon coverage for Ars Technica
I just wanted everyone to know about all my DjangoCon 2008 conference coverage that I did for Ars Technica while I was attending the event this past weekend.

Welcome to my new blog at clintecker.com
This post marks a very important point in time in my blogging career. I began what is now called "blogging" in April of 2001 with very basic posts like this one, about a month before the end of my sophomore year at Purdue. I was writing more for myself than anything else. I had produced a series of websites on my personal web space during high school (1998-1999) and into my freshman year of college (1999-2000). Over the summer of 2000 when I was taking summer school at Purdue, I had began tinkering with Linux, PHP, MySQL, and making dynamic ...
