Hello and welcome. I am Patrick Ward, a programmer, entrepreneur, and occasional writer living in Tampa, Florida.

Austintech.com was the first domain I purchased, way back in 1998, which seems like ages ago. It has been a business, a personal blog, a storage place, and a black hole of sorts. It’s currently where I store notes on coding and server administration. Hopefully, they are of use to others as well.

I’ve worked for TransWorld Diversified Services and it’s associated marketing agency, Sensory 5, for over 14 years as a software developer, network administrator, and CTO.

If you’re interested in what I’m up to personally, you can visit my personal blog, where I occassionally write fiction and discuss books I’m reading.
