I’m on Twitter

Gustave Stresen-Reuter — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:37:39 +0000

After reading Yolanda’s most recent post about the uses of Twitter, and then Rands In Repose’s post about Twitter (especially about how to Twit), I bit the bullet and am taking the plunge. As one would expect, my Twitter name is tedmasterweb in case you’re interested in following my every footstep…

Stock Photography Library

So, I think I’m some kinda hot photographer or something… Well, not really. This is just a quick note to announce I’ve finally created a Microsoft Expression Media theme that incorporates a shopping cart complete with payment processing via PayPal.

What am I talking about?

If you’re a photographer and need to sell your images online, I suggest you get your hand on a copy of Expression Media and then contact me to have your own shopping cart added to your favorite theme(s).

If you’re a graphic designer in need of some stock images, please check out my first gallery:

You’ll notice that there are two licenses available: a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use and a Commercial License (for commercial use of the images, obviously).

All feedback is welcome!

Read What I Read

I use, and like, Google Reader. I also like having my own blog, but I rarely have time to post anything particularly useful. Using Google Reader, however, I can simulate writing interesting blogs by posting a link to my “starred items” list. “Starred Items” are articles that I find particularly interesting or useful. All of these articles come form blogs I subscribe to. You can subscribe to my starred items list instead of this blog if you feel I’m not posting often enough but like the kinds of things I usually write about (and you thus end up reading what I’m reading).

So, here it is again: my “starred items” list.

Partner to Independent Contractor

I’m Working Freelance, Again!

After 3.5 years as a partner at Clevernet, I’ve decided it’s time to get back to my roots and go back to working for myself. This change will allow me to to focus on my family and other aspects of life that are genuinely important to me. Ulrich Schlegel and I continue to talk and probably collaborate and I wish him well going forward.

Welcome – Bienvenidos

My name is Gustave Theodore Stresen-Reuter. I am a Web Developer originally from Chicago living and working in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. My professional career has hardly been normal but when asked what/why/how someone with a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics is making a living doing Web Development I answer: “I’m very good with languages. The only difference between Applied Linguistics and Web Development is that in one we study natural languages and in the other we study artificial languages.” For maximum impact, both fields require planning and organization prior to putting the metal to the grindstone.

Of course there is more to the story, but that, I believe, is my main qualification: good at languages.

I am bilingual English/Spanish and although the majority of the articles on this blog will be in English (my native language), others will be in Spanish, with no English translation. In other words, this will not be a bilingual blog. It will just be an expression of myself, living in a Spanish-language world.
