What's Clove Technologies, Inc?
Clove Tech is a subchapter S, Colorado Corporation that I run my various and varied business interests through.
Here's a sample of some of the stuff I've done in the recent past -
- Custom Software for a few select clients. Everything from device drivers to intranet based applications. Relatively proficient in PHP, HTML, Python, CSS, (portable) SQL, & friends. Also proficient in, but a little rusty at, C, various assembler languages, UNIX-y things (awk, shell, etc). Can read, but hate to write Javascript and Ruby. Don't do any uSoft stuff - at all
- Linux & (small scale) AIX administration. Used to set up systems, database engines, web servers, change disk drives and all that rot. Don't do that any more.
- Written and abandoned (several times, in fact) a CMS system. This has been educational, but proven impossible to complete and to compete against larger open source projects. The rub is, my latest version is about 40,000 lines long and "there's just one more bug" (all the time). In contrast, Drupal is around 1/2 Million lines and has international support. One guy can't get something competitive done before it's out of date.
- Produced and attempted to sell digital art - some based on photographs and other stuff just out of thin air
Having abandoned my last major project, I'm crawling back to Rails (with my tail between my legs). Rails 3.0 is quite nice and clearly one of the best - if not the best - platforms for creating web-sites and web based businesses.
