A new adventure…
I am definitely a child of the TV age, distinctly remembering watching the Apollo 11 moon landing from our black and white set in the living room. I discovered my love of SciFi movies and shows in the 80s with Star Trek and Dr Who.

Best Error Message Ever!
Working on a large VMWare install this week. This popped up today while configuring the iSCSI subsystem.

Open Source Gems
Although my background has been extensively commercial software such as Microsoft Windows (XP, 2000/03, Active Directory) CITRIX, Novell, Lotus etc., for the last two years I have done more and more with Open Source software when building infrastructure.

More Mac Software!
So, if you are using a Mac and need Visio to do diagrams and charts, where does an old Windows user turn?
