Chad Everett’s Summary
I have been working as in Information Technology professionally since 1994 (and personally for several years before that), and I have been online in one form or another since the days of at least the 2400bps modem.
This early exposure to first using, and then running, Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes) led to an early jump on the Internet revolution, and development of some of the earliest web pages, followed by an integration of this knowledge of online systems with networking and programming knowledge to further connect disparate systems.
In recent years, I have been both an active participant and developer in the Movable Type community, and one of my most popular and prominent plugins, MT-Notifier, won an award in the inaugural Plugin Developers contest sponsored by Six Apart. Other plugins have been developed to help fight blog spam, as well as integrate a number of third-party services with Movable Type, such as FeedBurner, Fliqz, GadaBe, Outbrain, Plurk, SmugMug, Sphere and Snap. Outside of plugin development, I have recently been involved in the migration of blogs both to and from the hosted TypePad service.
Through my latest venture, Everitz Consulting, I work with these and other platforms, such as Expression Engine, Moodle, Openads, phpBB, Pligg, SMF, vBulletin, Web Event and WordPress, as well as custom Perl and PHP programming, including not only plugin creation but customization of the base Movable Type product and integration with other systems and I even offer traditional networking administration. It's a true one-stop shop for many things network-related!
