Beginning the Journey

My name is Mike and I'm a Sys Admin for a local university in Western Washington. I decided to start this blog to chronicle the everyday issues and problems I face during the work day. I am a self taught system administrator primarily responsible for supporting the email environment for the university. I am a troubleshooter at heart so while my method's may not be traditional in approach, my goal is always to get to the base issues of a problem and get them solved.

My hope is that the issues I face will resonate with you and that I can hopefully find some resolutions that might help you with your work/hobby. Please feel free to comment and point out things that you don't agree with or might do better. I'm not a coder so many of my programming methods may make you scratch your head. I thank you for reading and enjoy.

Thus begins the journey...
