This is my very first blog.  I have never blogged before... but every now and again I think I should.  The reason for this is quite simple - sometimes when I have a problem (relating to development) I find many different potential solutions.  Only after searching thousands of posts do I finally find something that works... the real solution is typically a combination of those few hidden gems inside forum posts.  When this happens I think to myself: If i had a blog, I could share this information so the next poor sucker doesn't have to go through the same tedious hell that I went through.  So, after many years of thinking, I finally decided to act with what you see here.
