Thanks for stopping by! I've been running this site since April 9, 1998! These days, my focus is on blogging and Podcasting. I post my blogs daily, usually around 11 p.m. EST. I love creating content and keeping up with the latest technology trends to make sure my posts stay fresh and relevant.
Its a busy Sunday at cryan.com. The following are some major highlights regarding what has been going on:
- March 10, 2025 - Expanded the About page to highlight my key technology skills.
- February 25, 2025 - Converted the Blog table from latin1 to utf8mb4. This should be seemless, but if there are any issues let me know!
- February 12, 2025 - Update the blog header so that it uses the same format as the rest of the website.
- January 15, 2025 - Updated weekly blog posting this month to focus on Python, and Final Cut Pro.
- December 6, 2024 - I added some snowflakes on the homepage for some weekend fun.
- November 26, 2024 - Just added an RSS feed for the main blog, I will add RSS feeds to other categories in the coming days.
- November 18, 2024 - I am excited to announce that I am changing the Wednesday blog category to Snagit. I am implementing this change to encourage QA users to produce higher-quality screenshots.
- November 13, 2025 - Launched the QA in Box Podcast!
- November 11, 2024 - Lots of cleanup around the blog. Focus on making it look better on the homepage and in mobile.
