Hello, and welcome to GT500.org

This is a personal website, and while I do love Shelby Mustangs (especially the GT500KR), and I have used "GT500" as a screen name on many online services, this is not a Mustang fan site. This site was intended as a playground for me to test Java based web applications that I have designed, and was also a place for potential employers to view my resume. Since I never made anything worth using, and I never received a job offer through this site, I maintain it and the server that it is on because I do use that server to host other things over the Internet.

For those who have not already been frightened away, I encourage you to take a look around. My blog has been relocated to the My Opera Community (yes, that's right, I'm blogging again), and my forums are in working order (well, some of the stuff is broken until Caucho fixes Quercus, but technically the forums do work). 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 (no longer working) and the very popular OSpell spell checker (although Opera 10 now includes it's own spell check).

A little bit more about me: I am an A+ Certified and Dell DCSE Certified Computer Technician, and I have studied to be a Java Programmer (both application and server). I have worked freelance and for other companies for a few years, fixing computers for various people and organizations, and for the past year I have been working for Malwarebytes. I can assist with security related issues (such as computer infections) on my forums if needed.

So, why .org and not .com or .net? Well, mostly because 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 used to manage the JavaMediaPlayer project, but I have since closed it down. No source code was ever written, despite the number of developers who signed up for the project. If you want to start it back up, please feel free to leave a post on the forums about it.
