In Corporate America we all play chicken. Most days we win, some days we lose. It appears I may have just lost. Effective tomorrow, September 18th 2020 I will no longer be employed by Dell Corporation, and my career as a Dell SE will be at an end. And you know what? I’m OK with this. Now, don’t get me wrong; this is hugely stressful and is a blow to

Saw this on Reddit today and found it hugely interesting. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1R2CRyCmm82LlWKfkq5MBJKrep0ckycHQ&ll=38.58755191725615%2C-90.19027498741329&z=11

Well, with all the discounts I could apply plus the sale going on over at https://www.dell.com I ended up finding that I could save 35% off the price of a new Alienware Aurora R8 with an i7-9700K, RTX2080, 32Gb of RAM and a 1TB SSD. So yeah… I guess that means I’m getting a new gaming rig…

Well, I am moving this blog to a new location. It’s going to a new server and content is being synchronized. As a result… well it may be a day or so before I get everything back to normal because I am quite busy with a trip to Denver in the offing. So check back… the old content will return. Maybe I’ll actually update this thing. LOL… uh-huh… yeah, right

Have I lost my marbles? No… but I have left the SVX fold for the last time. My SVX started having some issues which I won’t go into here… suffice to say they were

OK, if you checked my blog earlier today, you’d have seen that I added a new theme. Well, I intend to add more content soon, as well. Just to prove I’m not dead 🙂 Not going to make excuses; life’s been busy. I’ll fill you in soon… but it wasn’t helped by the fact that Ecto (my blog editor of choice) was having difficulty with WordPress (the blog software I

Here’s a rant I posted to Slashdot today that I thought you should read. Computerworld posted an article here, that said in item number 9 that PC Network Admins were a dying computer skill. I wholeheartedly disagreed and posted the following to Slashdot as a comment on the article… Seriously, I would say demand for *good* network administrators is only going to increase because of server consolidation. Why? OK, let

Heh… after all my prattling about the E-Ten M700, I’ve bitten the bullet and bought… something else. What? Oh… yeah. OK… so I was really sold on the idea of the M700; a slick device with a fast CPU, WM5 and an integrated GPS. The cool factor was definitely there. So what happened? Did the luster fade so fast? No, not really. I still love the M700, but I’ve been
