First Post!

I can't even begin to count how many times I've come across a solution to a mind numbing technical problem by using the super tool known as Google.  Sometimes these solutions have allowed me to finally go home after spending a long night inside a 65 degree data center and even allowed a hospital to resume admitting patients after a hard storage outage.  On the flip side, it's helped me succeed at some very complex deployments with minimal hiccups and maximum customer satisfaction.  Needless to say, I'm thankful for my technical cohorts out on the WWW who've taken the time to document problems and what they've done to fix the issues so people like me dont have to burn the midnight oil banging my head against a server dealing with the same issues.  I've decided to start making my own contributions to this great knowledge base of questions and answers.  I dont intend to break any ground with my posts, but hopefully someone out there will find them useful and I can pay it forward for all the times I got the right answer when I needed it.  And it wont all be about the 1's and 0's.  I often find myself in very interesting situations and intend to document those here as well.  I'm not shy when it comes to making fun of myself :).  Happy reading!
