Already many years of experience with various operating systems, networks, and protocols… and I’ve worked with people whose small amounts of forgotten knowledge vastly surpassed the total of what I had acquired. Sometimes we stand on the shoulders of giants, and other times we don’t manage to climb high enough to get past their kneecaps!

Just wanted to leave a message of appreciation on your blog. The broad range of subjects is right up my street and it will be firmly added into my bloglines. To top it all a excerpt from my favourite Newton quote.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Mark Broadbent

Thank you, Mark! It’s always good to hear that the ideas and knowledge I record here are helpful to others. Without that, it wouldn’t be worthwhile.
