A Day Late

I was just thinking, maybe my first entry was a little premature. Leading with an introduction probably would have been more appropriate. So with that in mind, here it is. I’m currently a college student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah majoring in Computer Science. I’m in my senior year and planning on graduating this April. I just completed a course on “Distributed Systems” taught by Phil Windley. It was my introduction to “blogging” and this is my first attempt. Unfortunately I’m not much of a writer…hopefully I’ll improve with time.

I’ve also spent the last 3 years working full time as a manager of production/operations for a small department of an international organization (lest I reflect negatively on them I’d rather not say which). Basically I’m a System Admin of a couple SQL servers and an IBM iSeries database server (also known as an AS/400). Unfortunately the rest of our operations run off of some Windows 2000 Servers (before you comment, please note this was not my choice). I was fortunate enough to find an extra desktop to install RedHat on. I pass it off as my “development server” :).

At the moment I’m getting ready to struggle through my last semester. It should be a fun one considering I’ll be working full time and taking a fairly heavy load of classes. What I’m going to do after I graduate I’m not so sure. Just a tip, if you’re in the tech field and have a good job…be grateful. On the other hand, if you’re graduating and looking for a “good” tech job…I sympathize (TRUST ME!).

Well…I think that’s sufficient for now, so until I think of anything else…
