I’ve had many personal websites since I started adding content to the internet with my first webdev job in 1997, and I have been terrible at maintaining a single one of them. Content has come and gone. Some of the companies have too. And yet I’m still around, collecting hobbies and skills and applying them to my every day problems.

My career is rather focused on computing – mainly in the realm of DevOps, or system administration. I seem to wind up working closely with developers doing much of the triage, incident analysis, and reporting on what broke for who and where when it breaks. Much of my experience has led me to using UNIX for automating, monitoring, easing overhead, and maintaining uptime and simply because there are enough Microsoft professionals who are good at what they do that I would rather leave that work to them and do the things I can do best elsewhere.

This site exists mainly as an outlet to the problems I encounter and how I’ve gone about resolving them. My suspicion is that it will mainly be Linux focused, but I am sure anything from electronics to woodworking to vehicle maintenance to the sociological impacts of being female and working in a STEM field may come up. Perhaps I will be able to NP-complete my leatherwork one day as well, which is likely my largest side endeavor to technology (leatherworking, not proving np-completeness of my other hobbies). Additionally I do photography and make artistic scribbles – those may be found decorating many other parts of the internet!
