Shhh… it’s a secret!
Author: adminSo what’s the point of Scott VonSchilling.com?
Originally it came about shortly after I graduated from college, got a full-time job, and moved out of my house. My new job had me finally working with modern Web 2.0 technology and programming languages, so I wanted to use it to make my own unique and fancy homepage. Bought my namesake domain and programmed an aggregate of my twitter and flickr account.
But then a few months later, I turned my attention towards my anime blog, The Anime Almanac, and completely left my namesake domain alone. Around April of last year, I dug up my old PHP code to the original site and adapted it to Anime Almaanc the Live, a Twitter aggregate involving multiple accounts.
But after a year of working on the anime blog, I did a vanity search on me using Google and found that the only information it returns relating to me is about my work on the Anime Almanac. But writing about anime is not what I do for a living, it’s just my side project. I’m a software developer first and foremost, and so I ultimately need a professional homepage to show the world who Scott VonSchilling really is.
So away with the old aggregate site and up with the brand new Scott VonSchilling.com. But what should I put up on it? Just having a page with a bio, resume, and links would be too boring for a Web 2.0 being like myself. That is why you now see a new personal blog occupy this space.
