FAQ stands for "frequently asked questions". In all reality, I've never been asked the majority of the questions in this document (including this one). Therefore, although this document mirrors an FAQ in general format, it is not in fact a true FAQ. Incidentally, this document also mirrors the general format of a catechism, but I felt like it was semantically closer to an FAQ than to a catechism.

Most basically, this site is a personal blog (mine, in fact!). I post random musings, rants, links, and anything else I feel like on here. Generally, blog entries are related to one or more of the following topics: programming (and IT in general), philosophy and theology, and gaming. More recent entries are shifting to being heavier on the first of those topic sets, but that could change at any point with no notice.

This site is a custom development project, written in Python.

First and foremost, this site utilizes the Django framework, which is a very nice, full-featured web framework for Python. There's a small amount of JavaScript, which relies on Prototype. Finally, the icons are from FamFamFam.

This site is hosted at SliceHost. Highly recommended. Version control for this site is in Git, eventually to live at GitHub.

No. You're probably using a browser that isn't on good terms with the W3C. Consider upgrading. As a particular note, I haven't so much as glanced at this site on Internet Explorer 6 and don't intend to do so. I spend enough time at work troubleshooting perfectly-valid code in that dung pile, and don't intend to scream at my computer monitor when doing a project for fun and on my own time (because making sites work in IE6 is not fun). On the other hand, if something looks clearly wrong in a current, standards-friendly browser, shoot me an e-mail with a screenshot.

My name is Luke Sneeringer, as should have been at least somewhat evident by the domain name. I'm a web developer residing in Austin, TX. I spend most of my work time writing PHP and most of my off time relaxing and spending time with friends, both online and offline. A good deal of my recreational time is used on World of Warcraft. A few folks think I'm at least somewhat competant; I hold a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Texas A&M University, and a PHP 5 Certification from Zend.

You're welcome to ask, although I tend to value my free time, so usually the answer will be no. I recommend my friend, Daniel Lindsley, for custom development; he is committed to doing consistently honest and excellent work.
