Hi, you've reached the website of Mark Menard, Freemason, developer, businessman, photographer, motorcyclist and all around nice guy.
The main joy in my life is Sylva, my loving partner and friend. (You will see plenty of pictures of her. Also check out our site.) My professonal career is running a consulting firm concentrating on business automation and custom software. I enjoy software development, motorcycles, photography, dancing, freemasonry and travel.
Here you will find galleries of my latest photos, thoughts on software development, freemasonry, the occassional politics, and other things. Enjoy your time here.
Mark
An ongoing photographic study of Freemasonry.

No IDE
Hmmm. Thats something I could never do.
Over the years, I have come to rely on Eclipse so much that I find the mere thought of changing to another IDE distinctly discomforting.
I must say I have never lost even a minute's work with Eclipse. And the combination of the Web Tools Platform, Tomcat and SVN plugins and Ant is deadly. At times, during hours of pressure and intense coding, I have almost experienced what could be "push-button" app development. And on my 3GB-2GHz Lattitude, it works like lightning.
