After a long hiatus of over a year, I am dusting off this blog, revamping it with a new look, and committing to updating it more regularly. Check back here soon and often for new tips on how to practice practical I.T.
This blog is really a "lessons learned" journal of an IT manager / Software developer. It is not centered around hype or the latest technological advance but highlights practical solutions for practical problems.
You'll find comments, tips, raves, rants about a whole array of things here. If you find any of them useful, please leave a comment and let me know how you've used it.
Who am I?
People often ask me what I do. Good question. I tell them I do many things. To some, I tell them I work with computers. They go - ah computers! Others, I tell them I develop software. Still others, I tell them I manage information technology.
All three are true. I work in I.T., but I don't work for an I.T. company. I develop software, but I don't work for a software company. I work for an IT department in a non-IT company.
In reality, my day-to-day job really is something more like technical research and solutions - really computing SCIENCE at its best. In the 10 years or so that I've been doing this now, I find it fascinating that I've dealt with anything from small Excel problems to being part of a team that writes an accounting system in Java. Such diversity has given me more perspective into how software development and information technology has affected the way we do things and the way we conduct our work.
In case you don't think I have a life, I am happily married, and a relatively new parent of a bustling two year old. You can read more about him on my personal blog.
