The Beginning...

It has been an decade since I last blogged about IT, but like smart people say, it is never too late to start (again). This time I at least don't have any limitations on what I can write and what not.

This time I come prepared - I at least have an idea on what I should write and not just ramble about random errors and how to fix them. I also keep this as a reminder/go to guide for quick fixes I have found/made so it is not just for You to read, but also for me to use as a scratch pad or a wiki so I would have a place to keep my notes to myself. You never know when you need an solution for a problem you solved 6 months ago.

Most likely the contents of this blog will be about me building up my test lab setup from scratch using off the shelf components, maybe some eBay/Amazon acquisitions or just hardware I think I need or want to play with. The same goes for software - as I'm a Linux user, most of the stuff will be about Linux. But I'm not limiting myself to just one platform - it is always good to educate yourself with different things and so there will most certainly be some other platform notes.

I'm also working networking and my current setup is not adequate for complex network testing, so network rebuild will also be on the road map. I don't know what hardware I will get for the time being, but there will be some hardware upgrades in the future for sure.

I also do some debugging of software so there may be some topics that touch some debugging of applications and/or fixes how I resolved them. I cant show everything I do as work related stuff is off limits but there should be plenty of things I can write about.

What I’m not sure is how much electronics posts should I write or if I should write at all… I occasionally do basic electronics and if there is a micro controller involved the lines get a bit blurry… So well see what comes of this…

In short – there are a lot of topics to cover and I try not to blab about some random topics that have no reference with things mentioned above. I’ll try to keep this blog as clean as I can from unrelated things as I can and if something should creep in – well I’m sorry…

Anyways – if any of the topics interests you – feel free to browse along – otherwise thank you for visiting :)
