CromeDome.net - Jason's Own Personal GeekdomThis is my shrine to myself, I guess, and the things that interest me. Why did I do this as oppposed to a "normal" home page? Something unexplained of late has stirred up an almost insane need inside of me for anonymity on the Internet. And so I am now in the process of systematically eradicating any trace of more "personal" type information about me from the face of the Internet. And besides, I figured Internet life would be far more interesting and amusing forever living behind this moniker than it would be just being the "real" me. Not too terribly exciting, is it? As for the name CromeDome. . . I believe it comes from sometime around the 2nd grade. Remember that awful G.I. Joe cartoon, the one that actually tried to depict warfare and conflict in a cartoon setting, yet there were never any fatalities or injuries? I believe one of the Joe grunts called Cobra Commander "Chrome Dome". One of my friends, Nate, decided that would be a fun play off of my name, and it stuck. The name went away for a few years, but I recently reincarnated it for LAN parties, web sites, and the like. Again, not exciting, is it? I'm boring, and I'm a geek. What more can I say??? So who am I? I am a software developer for DEVNET, Inc. While I'm usually kept pretty busy adding new functionality to our suite of government software, I'd like to think that I've become quite the Perl hacker, but I'd be fooling you and myself. I'm quite a novice still, compared to many, but I'm making great strides day after day. I also manage our Internet products and services, and do numerous other things beyond counting. It sucks to be needed sometimes :P Sometimes I've been known to teach at Kishwaukee College. At present I am not teaching, but expect that I will return in the spring. I have taught classes in C and Perl, and someday hope to expand that list to include other topics like SQL. I am also the author and maintainer of CGI::Session::ODBC, my tiny little contribution to the Perl community. Speaking of Perl and links, some bastard snagged the CromeDome handle on Perl Monks before I could. You can find me there as MrCromeDome. And, speaking of bastards, someone also got CromeDome.com and didn't bother to set up a website with it. I should go kick their ass ;)
