Broadcasting live from my little grass shack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the City of Angels in sunny Southern California, I proudly present the new and improved randolphlinmark.com 2.0! *waits for the cheering to subside*

After having packed up all my things, moving from Hawaii to Los Angeles, and starting a new job while getting acclimated to a new city, I finally find myself comfortably settled into my new surroundings. Unfortunately, one of the byproducts of the hectic past few months was that I neglected blogging or updating my site.

So after months of neglect I felt it was time for this site to start a new – a rebirth if you will. All previous blog entries were purged and is now a distant memory dancing around aimlessly in the cyberspace abyss. The total extreme makeover included switching blogging engines and skinning it with a newer more-edgy design.  So with renewed vigor and enthusiasm I will start by writing the obligatory "introductory" blog post to summarize this blog in a nut shell.

I plan on blogging about my technical experiences (and frustrations) as an applications developer in today’s Web 2.0 world. In particular I will be blogging on topics related to my day-to-day development with technologies such as ColdFusion, Flex, jQuery, ExtJS and SQL. I also plan to touch upon my personal interests in Application Architecture, OOP/Design Patterns and Best Practices. Of course I’ll likely blog on a variety of other subjects, even topics I may not have yet dealt with as of this posting.

I am hopeful that this blog’s content can be of use to others -- others that I hope will chime in and possible give me a different (maybe even better) approach or perspective on things. The before mentioned interaction is what I am looking forward to most so don’t be shy and feel free drop in even if it's just to say, “Aloha.”
