Technological advances over the years have driven the manufacturers of information technology products and systems to add “plug & play” features into their systems as much as possible. The industry direction has been to lower the level of technical knowledge/skills required for system installations and configurations. However, the by-product of this has been to add a tremendous amount of overhead into all aspects of networking.
Red Hat installations are becoming pretty boring now – always the same thing – which is a very, very good sign.
Marketing and selling are hard things to do deliberately. We all do it all the time unconsciously, but to actually ask for money is often difficult for those not used to it.

Have you recently found yourself pushed into the role of project manager? Are you wondering what to do next? More and more often, IT professionals are finding themselves rather suddenly propelled into project management roles – and many don’t know where to begin.

Only 41 percent of surveyed employees believe the typical company listens to employees’ ideas.
The average American worker makes only one or two suggested per year; the average Japanese worker, however, submits hundreds of suggestions to his or her employer annually.

This is usually the case until its too late… Disaster Recovery is one of those subjects that many technicians pay no attention to.
At Joel Christopher’s recent Master List Builders’ Workshop in San Antonio, Texas, Marlon Sanders told the audience that I was “The King Of Pay Per Clicks.” He explained that there was no investment he could think of that gave a faster or better return on your investment than pay-per-click search engines.
