About this site

Ethilien.net is the personal website of Connor McKay. Ethilien is sort of my internet-nickname/screenname (although I also go by Greneholt sometimes), and also the name of this site. Here you can find Software I’ve developed, and various articles and tutorials I’ve written on widely divergent topics.

Why .net?

This website is closely related to the various technologies involved in the internet, so I thought that .net fit better (and I just like the sound of it).

About me

I have been working with the internet and computers for about six years. I began by learning quickbasic (which I have now entirely forgotten). The first real programming language I learned was Visual Basic, followed closely by attempting to learn C++, and later HTML, PHP, and Javascript. These last three languages are the ones I know the most proficiently (PHP especially). Most recently I’ve become relatively proficient in Python, and am working on learning Ruby on Rails and Cocoa.

I also, to put it mildly, extremely dislike Internet Explorer.
