About This Blog

Geek Ramblings is Dougal Campbell’s personal blog, where he occassionally dumps bits of content from his brain. He does this for various reasons:

  • Because he found something interesting, and thought others might also find it interesting.
  • Because he has a bad memory and wants to be able to find the information again later.
  • Because he just needed a place to vent.
  • Because he was bored.

How does this affect your life? Probably not a whole heck of a lot. But, hey, if you’re reading this site, then some of the above might just apply to you, too, eh?

What is a “Dougal”?

Dougal
Ernest MacDougal Campbell III

Dougal is a geek who lives in the small town of Canton, Georgia (which is in the southeastern United States, for any of you visitors from elsewhere in the world). His wife, Susan, is also a geek. Together, they are raising three potential geeks, Jamie, Mary, and Claire. “Dougal” rhymes with “Google” and “frugal”.

I thought your last name was “Gunter”?

No, that’s a common mistake. Almost as common as people thinking that my first name is supposed to be “Douglas”. The “gunters.org” domain has old roots that are hard to explain. I’ll just say that it had something to do with my college years and beer.

How do I get in touch with you?

My Contact Page has a variety of methods you can use.

What have you done for me lately?

What can I do for you?

Thanks for asking! I’ll happily accept donations either directly, or in the form of items from my wishlists.

Also, I’m available for contract web development and consulting gigs, or for full-time permanent work. Get in touch if you need help with a project and you’d like to hire me.

Can I link to you?

What a silly question — please do! Please don’t ask me for link exchanges, though. I link to what I like, when I find it. Blogrolls seem to be in decline anyways.
