So, What Do Ya Wanna know?

So, What Do Ya Wanna Know?

That's me!My name is Jason Scott Pant, I'm 32, and I work as a front end web developer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is my soapbox, my portfolio, and my creative outlet to try new things.

In my free time I enjoy playing way too many video games, tweaking and repairing computers, cooking up strange new recipes in the kitchen, grilling out, catching up on new trends in web design, drinking absurd amounts of coffee, going out to the local pub with friends or just getting some much needed sleep.

I like dark roast coffee, swilling back dark beers of foreign origin, listening to old school punk rock, reminiscing about my younger days of skateboarding, being a grumpy bitch, run-on sentences, using too many damn commas, and did I mention getting much needed sleep? Mmmm, sleep.

What About This Site?

What About This Site?

All the code for vagrantradio.com is generated by Microsoft Frontpage (I'm so joking..). I type this junk out with a keyboard and most of my fingers in a program called Notepad++, by far one of the best text-editors I have ever laid my eyes (er, hands?) on. Content management is handled by Wordpress 2.7, some Php, a MySql database, with a little del.icio.us, Wishlistr and Feedburner all thrown in. I do all my image editing in Adobe Photoshop CS3, my personal pictures are served up using Flickr and the site is hosted by Dreamhost.

Wordpress plugins I use:

  • Akismet - Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.
  • Bad Behavior - Deny automated spambots access to your PHP-based Web site.
  • Bannage - Bans commentors by IP, username, email, or URI.
  • Comment Live Preview - Adds the live preview functionality for comments.
  • Custom Comments - Customize with CSS the way blog owner’s comments are displayed.
  • Customizable Post Listings - Display Recent Posts, Recently Commented Posts, Recently Modified Posts, Random Posts, and other post listings.
  • Gravatar - This plugin allows you to generate a gravatar URL complete with rating, size, default, and border options.
  • Shadowbox.js (modified) - Shadowbox is a cross-browser, cross-platform, cleanly-coded and fully-documented media viewer application written entirely in JavaScript. Using Shadowbox, website authors can display a wide assortment of media in all major browsers without navigating away from the linking page.
  • SRG Clean Archives - A nice uniform way to display your archives.
  • WP-SlimStat-Ex - Ajax based way to track your blog stats.
  • WP-UserOnline - Enable you to display how many users are online on your Wordpress blog with detailed statistics of where they are and who there are (Members/Guests/Search Bots).
