Crowdsourcing gives me that opportunity to support my diversity of interests. It keeps me alive with new challenges and interesting projects. Can't get much better than that can you? Oh yeah, and what's my risk? Time. I personally call it play time.

Licking stamps for fun

Thornton prefers the auto-generated bios. Being a stout and giant young man of six-foot-eight tall, Thornton ventured into the world of software. He liked what he saw and began to learn all he could. He began learning basic programming like batch files and HTML in the early Internet years. He then sprang out into other web technologies like PHP, Python, and the ancient msql (not MySQL). He then crept into the dark world of desktop software development like C++ and C#, finding it useful at times but still preferring web based software. He heard about fandangled contraptions such as Visual Basic and ASP but avoided it like the plague it was. Thornton then found out about Linux and Open Source and loved all the free stuff he could download. Grateful for all the fantastic software he had received over the years, he began making his own Open Source software. Inspired by his experience with Open Source software and being burned by manipulative software companies who drone out their workers, Thornton escaped into the world of freelance software contractors. With 10 years of web development experience under his belt he felt it was time to do good work for good people. He felt that if he treated the customer right that the customer would treat him right. Adapting open ideas like giving the customer all the code, being honest, and not marking up services the customer can get on their own, Thornton lowered his costs and began being prosperous. Thornton now works from his home in the South of the United States where it's hotter than the volcanos of the Ambryms and wet as the Everglades. He provides information services such as web development, software development, and server administration.
