Hello, and welcome to GT500.org

You probably came here looking for something related to the Shelby Mustang. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is a personal site, and is not a Mustang fansite of any kind. I do love Shelby Mustangs (especially the GT500KR), and I have used "GT500" as a screen name on many online services, but I don't have any information or pictures on this site. This site is a playground for me to test Java based web applications that I have designed, and is also a place for potential employers to view my resume (Adode PDF/MS-Word).

For those who have not already been frightened away, I encourage you to take a look around. I have a blog and some forums here (and yes, I've fixed the forums, and they are now in working order). I do ask that you try to maintain a level of decency when posting comments, and follow any rules on the forums. For those interested in the Opera Web Browser, I have a section with some customizations, including Operapedia (merges Google and Wikipedia) and the very popular OSpell spell checker.

I am an A+ Certified Technician, and I have studied to be a Java Programmer (both application and server). I have been working freelance for the past year, fixing computers for various people. I specialize in virus and spyware removal, and in performance optimization. I am also very good at using ArticSilver5 to increase the heat dissipation of heatsinks used on computer processors (Intel and AMD), and I've even used it on video cards with both the stock heatsink, and Zalman heatsinks.

Why .org and not .com or .net? Well, for one, they were already taken. At the time I didn't have the money to make an offer, even though GT500 Art Studios wasn't using GT500.com. So, .org it is. It's still better than .info, and I get a high listing on Google and Yahoo.

I am in the process of brushing up on my web programming knowledge at the moment. My ultimate plan is to design an easy-to-use web framework (a kind of CMS system), and I am starting out by designing a simple blog engine.

I used to manage the JavaMediaPlayer project, but I have since closed it down. If you want to start it back up, please feel free to use the "Contact Me" link in the upper left.
