About the Site
The domain was registered back in '99, and has been online since. The content and goals has changed over time but has found it's spot on teh intarweb by now. The site started as a a place to write down my thoughts and solutions, to document it for the future. My main focus areas are Virtualization, Gallery, Windows Server Management and terminal server/Citrix issues.
Hopefully someone besides me will find this a useful resource for something they need at some point. If the site actually helps someone out with a problem they might have had, all the time spent on this will have been well worth it.
