Chad Everett’s Summary

I have been employed in the Information Technology field since 1994 (as well as involved 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. Don't tell anyone. It was a long time ago.

Back in the dark ages of online systems it meant that I first used - and later ran - Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes). This knowledge of online systems combined with my programming education evolved into the experience needed to connect various systems to one another in a variety of networks and even resulting in the development of some early - and admittedly primitive - web pages.

Luckily content management systems came along and made that job more enjoyable, and in recent years, I have been both an active participant and developer in the Movable Type community.

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 Movable Type, I have also been involved in the migration of blogs both to and from the hosted TypePad service and worked with WordPress (both the .com and .org flavors).

Not content to be limited to one platform, and intent on finding the best solution for myself and my clients, I have also worked with platforms such as Expression Engine, Moodle, Openads, phpBB, Pligg, SMF, vBulletin and Web Event, as well as other custom Perl and PHP programming.
