After no small amount of prodding, poking, and piddling about, and with only eleven months to spare*, I have now joined the current decade with a blog of my very own, where I can post my thoughts and musings about software development without bringing harm to the internet community at large. Although it may be too much to hope that my posts will be insightful, I certainly hope that they will at least be informative. Except for this one. This one is a lost cause, as are all introductory posts.

As for who this Chris Wagner is, I work as a part-time developer at Nimble Software Professionals, a software consultancy in perennially sunny Hudson, OH, while also working toward an M.S. in Computer Science at the nearby Kent State University. I genuinely enjoy my work and my work environment -- I consider myself very fortunate to be in this position.

At any rate, I aspire to make my first real post at some point in the near future. I also aspire to be be more coherent at that time, but I do not want to set the bar so high so soon.

* Or a few negative months, if you are such a real coder that you feel that the common era should zero-indexed, just like an array.
