I guess it is about time that I did an About for this page.  It is one of those things that is very important.

To start my name is Jeff, and I usually go by the moniker of capebretoner or bluenoser on the various forums, blogs, etc that I frequent.

I got interested in being a webmaster back in 1999 when I first started to learn HTML, and started to work on a website for the local cemetary.

Then in about 2002 I met a friend in University who bought a large portfolio of domains and was selling them at a profit.  That is when I first found out that there was money to be made online.  However I was more interested in learning how to program and build sites then.  So I bought my first couple of domains and played with making sites.  My first was a personal site and then one that was used for the IEEE at Dalhousie.  I learned my first PHP/MySQL then, and even put up some adsense to see if I could make anything with it.

It really wasn’t until 2004 that I “saw the light”, I was bored at my day job.  Times were slow so I started reading some forums online.  It was then that I found DP and NamePros, I spent a lot of time on them and started to make some more sites, buy and sell, dabble in just about everything.  All of that dabbling cost me a lot of money, I was doing this as a hobby so it didn’t bother me too much.  These days I have decided to make my hobby profitable, so I have sold the majority of my sites and only kept the profitable ones.

This blog is really my record of everything that I have done online, I started it about the same time as I started getting serious about my hobby.

I hope that you enjoy reading my posts and most of learn from them.  It is better that you learn from my mistakes rather than make them yourself.
