This site is a way for me to share photos and blog posts.
The blog will not be a diary, but instead a way of storing technical solutions and information.
As a professional computer programmer (and part time DBA/SysAdmin) it is a daily occurrence that I need to figure out technical solutions. And being human, I regularly forget what those solutions were.
So the blog is a way for me to quickly find the answer I've already worked out once, and hopefully other people on the web will discover them and find the information useful.
It will not be regularly updated!
