Rescuing My Notes from the Digital Abyss
Over the course of my career, I’ve consistently taken notes on tech that I've worked with and have been pretty diligent about noting pesky or trickly things as I encountered them. Over the course of time though, these notes have become scattered about and I've found myself rummaging through various places to find them, trying to remember where I saved them. Even worse, when coming up empty handed, Googling the same stuff over and over again becomes slightly annoying or even mildly infuriating at times!
One of my goals for altbrain.net is to consolidate this scattered knowledge. Over time, I’ll be collecting, cleaning up, and publishing content here, adding extra context and color whenever it helps.
What I aim to accomplish:
- Shared Knowledge Base: A library of technical notes, write-ups, and lessons learned, for the IT community.
- Single Source of Truth: One central, organized repository to replace my scattered files and repetitive searches.
- Having Fun: If it’s not enjoyable, what’s the point. I genuinely like writing about what I’m thinking about, and this site serves as a creative outlet for that.
Whether you were directed here seeking something specific, or a fellow systems engineer or administrator wandering in from a search engine, I hope the content here saves you some time, spares you some grief, or proves to be mildly entertaining.
Beyond all things technical, I’ve got plenty of stories from my decades in IT, along with a few outside interests, so expect a bit of non-tech content sprinkled in along the way. I hope you find something useful, interesting, or uniquely helpful during your visit.
