About

(Taken and modified from my first post on this blog)

I manage a heterogeneous data center whose operations span two offices. I support 200 users (with a team of 4), including ~80 telecommuters from around the country. Granted, this isn't MegaCorp (TM) but it can be interesting. Very.

And since I've been working in IT for 10+ years, I decided it was time to share my accumulated knowledge and experience to make newcomers' lives just a little easier. In 2008, I built a wiki at the office. And I figured, "Hey! Why not start blogging too?"

So here I am. This blog is an attempt to disseminate those things that I know or have come across that were not easily won. Perhaps the name I've chosen for my blog is a bit of a stretch; after all, nothing can be touted as a true, complete cure-all. But if the information on these posts makes a difference in the life of even one poor sysadmin, newbie programmer, or support desk schlep, then it's been worth it.

Posts will arrive as interesting bits come up.

Enjoy.
