Why blog? This is the 16th year of my love affair with technology and just like any relationship I have had some good and bad times. I feel there are many things I have seen or done during these years that can help my fellow technicians prevent sleeping on the couch and enjoy many years of happiness. My intent is to assist anyone either accelerate their solutions or prevent catastrophic errors (mostly the latter as it seems that is where I seem to find myself most often). This is how I plan to pay back the world wide community that often made me look smarter during a crisis or problem solving mission.
