First Post! What's it all about anyway?

I'm going to try this blog thing again... The past (couple) of times I've created a website with the intention of updating it regularly haven't worked very well, mostly because I think I don't journal well.

Also because I haven't had a particular focus for the sites, they end up as just a buncha random crap that I don't bother to update, yet for some reason I keep migrating from one site to another. Maybe this will be different.

So here's my focus for this site: "Collect my thoughts about Enterprise System Administration". What does that mean? Well, this is a space for:

• Ideas about server management (configuration management)
• Ideas about application infrastructure (applitecture)
• The interrelation between office politics, policies, and technology
• Wouldn't it be cool if...
• Problem solving
• And ideally, if I ever get around to actually implementing some of these great ideas, they'd be here too.
