About

My name is Steve Morrissey and I attend the University of Minnesota Duluth. I am interested in a lot of things such as programming, golfing, bowling, and playing the occasional game. I am very interested in programming. The languages I use the most are PHP, Java, VB .NET, and C++ (.NET). I am also very interested in MySQL, data collection, and writing applications to make sense of and display the data.

Currently I am employed at my University doing exactly what I enjoy. I get to develop applications for the faculty/staff to use, code the websites, and admin quite a few servers (15+ Linux, 5+ Windows). I actually enjoy work which is rare.

I also love starting projects and never finishing them. I cannot count the number of web projects I have started, made a lot of progress on, then just given up on. This boils down to the fact that I cannot focus on a single thing for too long before it burns me out. Oh well.

I will be posting some ‘borderline illegal’ information here. Note that me posting it is not illegal, but what you do with it can be illegal, I just provide the information, do with it what you will.
