<img class="alignleft" title="Hello world!" src="http://www.biggles2k.com/images/blog/helloWorld.jpg" alt="Hello world!" width="100" height="149" />A suitable greeting from any developer and I am no exception. Although this is not my first blog post, this is my first <em>personal</em> post, and represents the first time I have updated my corner of the web in, oh, probably ten years, if not more. See, I've been so busy developing web sites and applications for other entities that I neglected my own turf. That, and I found my original site rather difficult to scale, it being of purely static design when such things were still in vogue.
Also, I must admit, I really liked the old look and layout. As did a lot of others. I didn't see any reason to change things.

Nonetheless, there comes a time one must leave the nest, take flight, and soar toward that next great adventure. So here I am, dabbling in the fine art of blogging and dynamically generated content, using not text editors and slabs of custom-generated code, but graphical UIs and third-party software (<strong>*gasp*</strong> code I did not write!) to update my site. There's not much here, but bit by bit, post by post, this site will grow. Why not join me in this new endeavor?
