About The-TrukstoP.com

What exactly is this site about anyway?

The-TrukstoP.com is a collection of both the projects worked on by, and the publication of rambling thoughts and opinions, by me, Greg Davies (aka cGt 2099).

I designed, created and still maintain this place, and while it focuses mainly on current projects I'm undertaking, it also provides itself as a springboard to my other work elsewhere online, such as the podcast Social Blend, and Universal Day Of The Jedi.

Greg who?

Yeah, I know. Sorry, I let my arrogance precede myself sometimes. But that's okay. I'm a Crazy Australian living in Lawton, Oklahoma, and have been here since 2003. If you want to know more about me, check me out on numerous social media sites such as Mixx, Twitter, and Facebook. You can get to those links on this page.

Or, you can check out the articles I've posted. Or, you can e-mail me. Or, send out a message via carrier pigeon - whatever works for you.

You're from Australia?

You bet I am. Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, in fact. I lived there up until I was 27, and then moved over here to the United States. From 2004 to 2007, I also worked as band manager for metal group AGAINST 72. Since then, I've been co-host of the podcasts Social Blend and The Round Up, as well as a member of the SilentDog2099 team that has created websites such as SocialMediaRage.com.

When did this site start?

The TrukstoP first debuted online in 1998, under the name of Chef Greg's Pages. Chef Greg was my nickname online at the time, and the webpage was limited to that of a single page of links.

Within a month, Chef Greg's Pages had been retitled as Chef Greg's TrukstoP. The title, TrukstoP, also came from my online nickname, which had evolved into ChefGreg'sTruk (Don't ask. Seriously, you don't want to know).

The site had turned into a hosting space for my KISS page, The Revenge Within, and my Star Wars page, Shadow of the Sith.

Star Wars, eh?

Absolutely - I've been a hardcore Star Wars geek since I was very little - and will always remain to be so. You will find a lot of articles to be Star Wars-related here, including anything to do with May 25 being the Universal Day of the Jedi.

So what were these older web sites all about then?

The Revenge Within was an inevitable inclusion because I had been a KISS fan since 1987 and I always had an inner desire to create my own KISS fanzine; web design had finally provided me a convenient forum to do so.

Shadow of the Sith was my attempt at creating a page that could be a general news source of Star Wars Prequel Development.

Well, why aren't you doing these sites anymore?

In 2005 and 2006, it became clear to me that it was time to move The-TrukstoP.com into different waters. The KISS and Star Wars sites were great fun, and a big part of my development in learning HTML, but it was time to move forward.

The-TrukstoP.com has become, for me, a chance to voice my thoughts and opinions in articles of my own interest, but just as importantly (maybe even more so) a means by which I can focus on my own projects.

I wanted my site to focus on what I was doing, not what someone else was doing. But at the same time, I had to concede the point, that there would be things that happen in life that I would want to rant about in an article... so while the main focus are the projects I work on, it's also my soapbox for whining.

What are these projects you're talking about?

I am working on a lot of things. I am writing numerous projects, including the first Sobering Thoughts publication, which was released in late 2007. You can get a copy of that here. The second volume is currently in the works, as well as a few other writing projects as well.

What's this 'Sobering Thoughts' thing all about then?

Sobering Thoughts is a collection of lyrical concepts I've written over time. It all began when I came up with the concept of The Sobering Truk Thoughts: a forum in which posters at the board could post their creative writings. This concept would later evolve into the Sobering Thoughts feature of the TrukstoP.

Wow. Your website sucks.

Thanks. But it is far from over. As history has it, The TrukstoP has been a constant evolution and growth from Day One. Many more changes and developments will come, and the TrukstoP will continue to grow.

Who would have thought that a small 1998 links page would become something like The TrukstoP.com?
