I know it has been awhile since I have updated the blog so I figured this would be a good time to do a quick little post, if anyone is even reading this.  I have been super busy getting adjusted to everything after the move to the new place as well as trying to get comfortable with things at my new job, it is a really exciting time for me right now.  Everything seems to be going well there so far, I have even managed to survive my first patch management day.

Once I get settled in a little more I plan to get back to the blog and have a feeling some really Windows heavy stuff will be coming soon.  If there are any requests I will try to do my best to get to them.  One other thing I have learned already at my new job is that I will be handling some Cisco networking projects so maybe some of those types of topics will start showing up here as well pretty soon.

On top of that I have a few side projects for home that I’ve been thinking about and will be posting those efforts on here as I (however slowly) get around to them, I think those will probably be geared a lot more toward the Linux stuff since those are my favorite type of projects.

I have a new job lined up as an “official” Systems Administrator that I will be starting here shortly, so the posts may be a little light in the next month or so, plus I haven’t had any really good ideas for topics (so if you have something you would like to see, let me know). Hopefully with this new job I will get some fresh new challenges and be able to blog about how I solved them or get ideas for other future posts.

This new position will be focused primarily on Windows and Network administration so I can foresee posts in the future focusing more heavily on those sorts administration aspects although I do have some Linux plans for my own personal knowledge in the works right now which I can’t wait to write about either.

As for now, keep checking back. If the site is down its probably because I’m in the middle of moving or haven’t gotten my new internet connection set up. Once I’m all settled in I will start cranking out the posts again. If you have something cool you would like to share I would love to post it here for you, so let me know about that as well.

Well, I finally got my site up and running yesterday evening.  I had written a post previously but had to rebuild the site  earlier  today due to some technical difficulties. I’ve already learned an important lesson:  make sure to back up!  Had I been thinking ahead, I could have saved myself a good 2-3 hours of fixin’ time.

I plan on using this site as a repository for documenting my fixes as well as my journey through the IT realm, while (hopefully) helping out some others along the way.  I will primarily be focusing on the types of technology that I have background in and am most familiar with but I’m sure as I grow as an admin I will learn much, much more.  There will be a mixture of Linux, Windows, Networking, Android, etc., as well as all the other interesting tidbits and neat tricks that I discover as well.

Since this site is my first personal web site I’m sure things will continually evolve as I begin putting more time and effort into this project, so I am looking forward to getting going full steam on this.  I have been putting it off for waaay too long.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for things to add or any specific things you want to see on here, let me know.
