So I last blogged in February, about pretty much nothing. Now it is April (well April is about to exit stage right) and I feel the need to blog again about pretty much nothing. But before I proceed to ramble on or whine or moan, I would like to take a minute to say thanks:
1. Thanks dear reader for reading my blog and thanks most of all for not replying and reminding me of what a nerd/dweeb/screwup/loser/nerd ( um I said nerd twice…) that I am.
2. Thanks to God, for allowing a shy mixed up kid that still tingles when thinking about his old timex sinclair 1000 computer to be able to make a living playing with bigger computers. I can still remember some milestones:
- Writing my first BASIC program similar to 10 print Dave Rules 20 Goto 10
- Pirating Wordperfect 5.1 in College and before that being so cool that I sold 5.25 inch floppies because I bought them 10 at a time.
- Buying a 20 MB that is Megabyte hard drive for my amber monitor XT clone and thinking that I could never fill it up. IT would hold like two million wordperfect docs and 15 million excel spreadsheets or actually that would be lotus 123
- Windows 3.0 coming out after I graduate from college and just elated that I could play solitare! Probably the BEST windows app ever.
- Working at Micro Center and learning so much, I remember my buddy Rick installing Novell 3.xx and then we get a prompt that says something like fs1: and not knowing any other commands
- Struggling at the SACK lunch college trying to get FreeBSD to work.
- More recently, seeing VMware vmotion in action. and then we have storage vmotion.
- What is next? I am thinking fs1: bouncing around the cloud and the data center being in the same place where cable tv comes from. I am sure it is in a big building somewhere.
See you in two months when the need to ramble/babble overwhelms me!
