scategorise? what's coming.. and IKEA and still married... no it's not really very technical yet

I'm not sure if you have to just blast out content using blogger or if you can categorise... anyway I will being aiming for two discrete categories to start off with. SAP and Home Computing. My outline, and this is all just sitting under the recent buzzcut, is to go over cloud computing in relation to SAP, and then to look at home computer backup solutions.

Anyway to give this blog a personal touch I will blog some details of this historic say in the new history of infotechreflect. I have spent this fateful day tiring my stalks going to church, to Toys'R'Us and to IKEA. I've made it through still married and although I'm in some pain I still managed to start a blog, so I seem to have some stamina left now that I'm really entering my 30s.

infotechreflect is born

Glowing wires. Inspiration from various sources. Jeff Jarvis.. Aaron Sorkin.. Jacob Bronowski.. Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon..

I have found that I desire to blog (is that a verb?) my thoughts on information technology in industry and my experiences with it. Perhaps as a way to structure my own reflections on IT in order to improve my own knowledge. Hopefully also to create links with like-minded people and perhaps foster some discussion.

For those who read this, and for my own catharthis, here is a little background on me. I am a Bachelor of Science, particularly focused on Computing. Following several years of debauchery and many lessons learned from living with some sensible women and not-so-sensible male art students I bumped along to graduate in 2002 from the Manchester Metropolitan University. My dissertation on Effective Web Site Design somehow notched me up a first class degree and yet I proceeded to do only a little web design (professionally and privately) before going on to work as a computer system administrater, a programmer, a DBA and, more recently, an ERP systems consultant.

Currently I work for Hewlett-Packard... still in Manchester, in the UK. I am essentially, for now, a SAP Technology Consultant; although I try and keep abreast of all IT... a hard task!

I want to keep these short and punchy and, as I think I'm failing already (something I'm guilt of on voicemails too..), I'll try and wrap up this intro. My areas of thought currently wander around database design, ERP systems archtecture, ITIL, cloud comuting, virtualisation, OS platforms, home computing and on these topics I will splurge the contents of my grey matter onto this blog.

So - my reflections on information technology - hence, infotechreflect.
