About Caffeinated Code
Caffeinatedcode.com started out in 2000 as a custom-built router/server hosted at home on a CyberMax beige tower over a static DSL line. It was pre-wiki, but was intended to hold info I seemed to always forget: Solaris x86 configuration notes, some reference Oracle admin SQL scripts, unix shell scripts, java snippets; and also had some disaster recovery software utilities for easy accessibility.

Sipping my coffee, I thought, "Man, this is some intense caffeinated code!". The idea stuck and within a day, caffeinatedcode.com was registered.
That was back when I was a contractor helping code up former SF-based Guru.com in ATG Dynamo. Dotcoms... fun times.
Caffeinated Code now resides on a fairly buff system in a high-availability colocation facility. It is a server in The RealSoonNow.net Colo Cooperative, an equal-share co-op run by a group of amazingly smart IT people whom I feel privileged to know.
The Cool Beans blog aims to keep coders and Internet server geeks informed about application development challenges and security issues.
