About Chuck Eglinton
Hi. I’m Chuck Eglinton.
Let me answer your technology questions.
I’m a computer programmer and “web application” designer, but I also like to research and write about gadgets, the internet, and technology.
I took my first computer programming classes in high school in 1976. I have been writing computer software for personal computers since 1983 and I’ve been producing Internet websites and “cloud” web applications since 1998.
In an article published in 2005, I predicted the popularity of hybrid vehicles, DVR/PVR’s, smart-phones, and electronic books — such as the Kindle and Nook. Most recently, I’ve been working on two new relatively new technologies: mobile “web apps” for smart phones and QR-codes.
About once each month I send out a short email newsletter describing interesting practical technology advice including how you can save money with technology. I respect your privacy and promise not to share or rent my e-mail list. You can sign up for my free occasional newsletter using the newsletter form. Send me your technology questions: chuck (at) etusa (dot) com.
