IT Folks Make Errors? No!!
I love TechRepublic’s 10 Things posts, and 10 dumb things IT pros do that can mess up their networks is a great one. It’s fun to tell those user stories, but most of us have dumb moment stories of our own. Point #1, however, is critical. We all know it. You have to have backups,…

I Usually Forget to Update Twitter

Two years ago this month my father passed away at age 86 after a full and interesting life. He was an amateur radio operator starting in his teens, and he passed that on to his family. I am without equipment at the moment, but I do get on the air via my brother’s echolink (N3AU-R),…
