Developer, Systems Admin, Geek, Gadget lover, etc. etc.
I started programming in BASIC at the age of 11 on a Sinclair ZX81, advanced to a BBC Model B, where I learned 6502 assembly language programming. I never really worked with PCs until the early 90s.
In the late 90s, I joined a higher educational institution as a desktop technician, a quickly got promoted to be a systems admin, working predominantly on Windows systems, but also had a keen interest in Linux systems. I later got involved in software development, working in C#, PHP, C.
In my current employment, I'm the manager of the company's Information Systems department. The primary focus of our business is industrial control systems (mostly legacy systems). The work isn't exclusively legacy/control systems though, as we also support modern systems for a number of business customers.

Windows Server Backup fails because of a FAT32 hidden partition -1; It's not good practise to answer with a link, as your answer will become redundant if the link disappears. |

@Adrian, I'd like to somewhat defend mdpc here, as conversely, I've seen several of the nominees listed here (including mdpc) close questions via the review queue that I thought were perfectly acceptable questions. I believe that peoples interpretation of what is acceptable and not acceptable is somewhat subjective. Of course, we'd stand a better chance of agreeing on this if the about page and FAQ page didn't conflict. |

email very slow with remote application on Windows server 2012 "I don't know what's wrong with my question" Try adding some detail to it for a start. Would you phone your garage and say, "My Car's broken down, what's wrong with it?". What software is involved, anything unusual about your set up? What have you tried? Anything in the logs? Specific users/all users? You're going to have to put some effort in yourself if you want any help! |
