Welcome Internet stalkers!

I have discovered that there are a lot of sites out there with information about me, so I have decided that it is time for me to take control of my Internet identity. Most information on the web is essentially accurate, but there are a lot of things that are not quite “spot-on.” Many news articles (or in some cases, “press releases”) have also been written, detailing my use of Linux and Open Source Software, as well as different vendors’ hardware and software products. It never ceases to amaze me how reporters take notes on what you tell them, then go back and make up all the quotes. I always worry about responding to requests for interviews or other info, but fortunately I’ve been treated fairly thus far. In any case, this blog is my chance to tell things in my own words.

I have been solving problems with computers for a long time. I hate re-inventing the wheel, and I imagine I’m not the only one. One of my goals is to share my day-to-day issues and the solutions I and my team come up with to resolve them. Hopefully this information will be useful to other folks out there.
