Tech Tip Daily

No I haven’t died…

No I haven’t been kidnapped…

And no, I most definitely have not lost interest.  It’s been a crazy past few months, with my engagement/proposal coming just around the corner, a career change coming soon, and general chaos at work.  I still check the site from time to time and I’m trying to respond to questions and comments.  I do plan on bringing things back up to full speed in the near future, I’m just looking for time.  I plan on moving things from wordpress to a managed hosting solution when I get back on the ball.

Stay tuned, and before long, “Tech tip periodically” will be back to “Tech tip daily”

Ever since I got my first computer (an IBM 286 with a 60MB hard drive and 2 megabytes of RAM), I’ve been nothing short of fascinated. I was about 10 at the time and I marveled at the capability of Windows 3.1 I’d often stay up all night long playing Castle Wolfenstein. But I didn’t always have such a good clue about what I was doing. For instance, there was one sunny Saturday morning that I was experimenting with the ‘del’ command and it’s usage with wildcards. $200 and 1 angry father later, I realized its true potential.

It’s only been by breaking and then repairing these machines that I’ve come to the place that I am. I’m 22 now, recently graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science, and work for a local converged technologies provider. And by the way, my name is Greg. with nearly 3 years in the telecommunications industry and 12 in IT, I’ve come to learn many things about all aspects of life (and a bit about technology too).

Not a day goes by that I don’t get a question about computers. But I don’t mind, I just remember all of the things in life I don’t know about (Women) and how fortunate I am to have people in my own life who help me out (Thank you Kim). Even without the questions I get, nearly every day I run into at least one technology-related problem myself that I’m forced to solve. Aside from its usefulness to me, I decided it would be great help to many people to create a well organized, cataloged place for “daily tech tips” to be placed.

And thus we have Tech Tip Daily. This is my first venture into the blogosphere and I exist solely for your benefit. So please, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
