My name is Zach Fleeman.
I am an industrial engineer and noncommittal web developer. What you see on my website, be it my blog, Minecraft server, or any other bizarre web creation, is the result of nearly two years of relearning HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, and MySQL after a terribly outdated MIS course.
What do you like?
I love games. Even though I don't play many games, I have seemingly made it my mission in life to gain encyclopedic knowledge about these things. I don't really know why I like games this much, but somehow I'm at this point in my life.
Along with games, I like the Internet. I used to blog quite a bit about games at We Keep It Real, but recently I have found a lot of interest in what makes the web tick. Learning how to make a functional (and decent-looking-ish) website is something I've been putting a lot of energy into, and I learn something new every day.
Do you see that image of my face on this page? I just learned how to make that float to the right of my text and increase its margin by five pixels so the text never touches the picture. I learned that, like, right just now.
How you website?
It all started with me registering zfleeman.com through Dreamhost with a simple content hosting plan. When I saw the looming yearly fee come my way in the fall of 2011, I decided to purchase a server to host my website and Minecraft server. This didn't really save me a lot of money, but it was a good way to learn a little bit more about how this Internet thing works. Nginx takes care of my HTTP server, and I use Tumblr as the CMS for my blog.
