Welcome
Welcome to BrockAngelo.com. As I am always evolving, so is this site.
I just changed the description of the site to “cool little projects” because that seems to be what I’m always writing about: centralizing iTunes music onto a home server, accessing your PC when you are away from home, automatically uploading photos to Flickr, WordPress plugins, Photoshop tutorials, etc.
I’m an avid user of Google – my latest obsession is trying out the new Google Voice. Google Voice is a brand new phone number that you get that rings all of your numbers when called. You can also select which numbers ring based on caller, time of day, etc. It is very fun. Feel free to leave me a message using the Google Voice widget below:
Calls go straight to my voice mail. Give it a try!
You enter your number, Google calls your phone, then calls me.
It will give you a taste of what Google Voice can do.
I also do a lot with web development. I use this site as a “web log” of my work. I use WordPress as my framework, and focus mainly on PHP and MySQL development. I host this site and several others on a dedicated home server and am writing an e-book for systems administrators and hobbyists about how to setup and run a dedicated server. E-mail me if you would like to be notified when the book becomes available.
Some work examples: The Photoshop Samurai and the Google Chart Generator. There are some class notes from classes I’ve taught at Parkland College with their Community Education program.
If you plan to attend one of my classes, be sure to visit Parkland Maps.com to find directions to your classroom.
Students regularly ask me for suggestions on good books, so I have links to books that I recommend (for purchase at Amazon.com) if you would like to learn more about a topic. Enjoy browsing the site, and shoot me an e-mail if you would like to request a specific tutorial.
