Welcome
Welcome to my corner of the web, where I keep notes on the business of developing software based solutions that collect data and turn it into intuitively actionable information.
IT Sections
The IT section covers the whole process of Application Development, among other topics.
The Glossary is an organised entry point to notes on industry technologies, protocols and products, and business terms one hears.
Presentations
To take your time going over a presentation I have given, view it again on the Presentations page.
Blog
Or simply read the Blogs during my Pomodoro breaks between trying to find solutions to problems under lack of time, budget and your average IT duress.

Sell
Every day, with each action, one can either consume or create.
As for the create side of things, one can produce the following to sell:

- false hope (that with little change of effort on their part they can have better results)
…in more or less that order of diminishing ethical value.

ARM
I take that back. I HATE ARM's “Lost While Debugging within Stupid Quotation Marks” approach more than PowerShell. But I still dislike PowerShell. A lot.
Powershell and ARM
PowerShell has to be the most god awful language structure I've encountered in 30 years of development.
It even beats ARM on the WTF Scale.
