			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Who am I?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m Chris Thompson.</p>
<p><strong>Where do I work?</strong></p>
<p>I work at <a title="Copyblogger Media" href="http://copyblogger.com" target="_blank">Copyblogger Media</a> in Dallas, Texas.</p>
<p><strong>What do I do at Copyblogger?</strong></p>
<p>Anything <a title=".NET technologies" href="http://www.microsoft.com/net" target="_blank">.NET</a> related.  Now if you know anything about Copyblogger you&#8217;ll probably say &#8220;You work with the coolest people on Earth, can I touch you?&#8221;  No.  The next thing you&#8217;ll say is &#8220;Hey, Copyblogger is all <a title="WordPress" href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> intensive,  the <a title="Brian Clark, CEO of Copyblogger Media" href="http://www.copyblogger.com/its-all-my-fault/" target="_blank">CEO</a> wears jeans and has long hair, you have the best parties at <a title="South by Southwest" href="http://sxsw.com/" target="_blank">SXSW</a>, what the heck are you doing working with .NET?  I mean&#8230;didn&#8217;t George Bush waterboard people with .NET or something?&#8221;</p>
<p>I may be one of the few people in the world who feels that competing technologies can co-exist in one big happy universe.  So while Copyblogger&#8217;s PHP warriors focus on certain products, I, using .NET, focus on others.  The results are a fascinating look at how two differing technologies can work together with relative ease and produce some of the best darn <a title="Copyblogger Tools" href="http://www.copyblogger.com/software/" target="_blank">products </a>in the world.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s all for now.  Most likely you&#8217;ll never read a word of anything written here&#8230;but then again, if you don&#8217;t then that means I&#8217;m an embarrassment to my boss(es).</p>
<p><strong>What is this blog for?</strong></p>
<p>The main reason I started it was so that I have a testing bed for stuff I, and my co-workers, develop.   Having a local install with the URL &#8220;http://localhost:56789/wp&#8221; really hurts.</p>
<p><strong>Epilogue</strong></p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m sick of writing this now so I&#8217;ll stop.  Thank you for reading and if you&#8217;d please, leave a comment so that I know you agree that I&#8217;m awesome because I have a blog again.</p>
<p>Thompson out.</p>
