29 Feb 2008eager to have a website? thinking of getting a webmaster?
it seems everyone right now is into the web. anyway, who wouldn?t want to be seen WORLDWIDE? i myself have been doing websites for quite sometime now but having five years experience in this field doesn?t end the learning curve i have to go through every single day.

seeing that long list makes me wonder… are they really looking for a webmaster? or a WHOLE DEPARTMENT!?! o_O
WHY NOT MAKE IT SIMPLE?

This is a programmer's blog. Whenever I encounter a difficult coding task, I make sure that I'll be able to share it here in the hope that others may find it useful. It's my way of giving back to the open source community who have been a great help to me as well.
