Who is Chris Gill?
I've worked in IT since January 1989. Started off at the "help desk" (now called "service desk") taking calls from people experiencing computer issues. Moved up to desktop support where, in the days before networking, I'd go to out and fix computer (and other desktop technology) issues. Eventually ended up working with servers and networking, then managing people and projects.
My goal here is share wisdom I've collected over the years.
