About
This is the personal blog of Ryan Ernst, a Web Systems Developer living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
About the Author
I work with web-based systems: LAMP-based systems are my specialty, and I do conversions from Microsoft systems, and custom CMS software to Drupal and other Open-Source CMSes.
I'm a proficient Unix/Linux administrator who enjoys tinkering with hardware and software. I'm an irrepressible tinker who can't resist fiddling with things to improve them. I enjoy thinking my way through challenges: I enjoy solving technical problems and finding more challenges to tackle.
In my spare time, my interests are cycling, writing, history and vintage/retro video games.
The Technology
ryanernst.com is built on Drupal with the Acquia Slate theme. It used to run on wordpress, but Automattic's messing around, and the increasing complexity of wordpress and the decreasing complexity of its documentation (next to nothing was documented!) led me elsewhere. I had been working on several Drupal-based sites, so it was a natural fit.
