Who/what is Youngluke.COM?

Youngluke is my development portal, my test bed, my scripting base. It’s all behind the scenes unseen to the public eye.

When people browse to a web site, they expect to see or do something interesting. You know.. interact, that sought of thing. Not so here. This page is just to satisfy the casual browser that indeed, someone put some effort to write more than one sentence and post it.

I do have some new year’s resolutions though.. see them here. Last year’s (2009) resolutions are here.

About Me

I am Eddie Gichuhi of Maryland Heights, Missouri – United States

Most of my life is spent doing some of the following:

• Working: I work full-time for a financial services company headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois.
• Business: I am CEO/Founder of Trip Sheet Central (TSC), a trucker at heart. To me, the open road signifies endless opportunity.. ‘nuf said.
  
  TSC is a web-based truck-business management suite designed specifically for Truck Carrier Operations. It is ideal for truck owner-operators, truck fleet-owners and company drivers.
• More work: I provide business coaching services with a focus on trucking business operations.
• More work: My home-based Information Technology (IT) business provides cutting edge, turn-key technology solutions for small to medium-size businesses.

• When I get home, I fire up my laptop and write perl code, php, xml, rss, ajax, cgi, pl/sql, etc.
  
  That’s my passion. It’s what I love.
• Hanging out online: I make my daily rounds on the news sites, blogs and perl sites.
  
  Lately I’ve been interested in Documentum (ECM) &
  
  Oracle Universal Content Management tool, and even Adobe Flash. I never imagined I would have a use for Flash…Hmmm.
• Writing: I write articles on the trucking industry, freight logistics,
  home-schooling, programming and general life events. I recently started blogging- I’ll post a link soon.
• Travel: I’ve traveled to every mainland state in the USA except New Hampshire and Maine.
  About half a dozen countries in western Europe, and a few countries in East and Central Africa,
  and the United Arab Emirates.
  
  Most of my travels have been mostly business. Quite a few though have been for pleasure.
• Family: I spend a lot of time around my family. My wife and I have three absolutely adorable girls.
  

  We have no pets. My other hobbies include photography, music and chess.
  
  I haven’t played a good game in years!
