About

Sheep Guarding Llama started life very simply in November of 2000 as a simple home page designed to provide information regarding my New Year’s Eve Party including the time and directions. Soon after the initial announcement the site began to become filled with ongoing updates about the goings on of the house which was, at that time, in Ithaca, New York.

Since its humble beginnings, Sheep Guarding Llama has become a full fledged identity web log following the life of me, Scott Alan Miller. The site has grown from a basic home page to an ASP and then ASP.NET managed hand coded web page to its current incarnation as a full featured, database driven content management based blog with associated Vlog and Podcast – handled by WordPress.
