RobbieTheGeek

I am happy to say that I finally got around to migrating my own site from Drupal 5.(cough) to Drupal 6.9 without too much pain. One of the best parts is that I finally stuck my site into subversion also, so it will be more readily updated.

After almost 12 years working in or around the City of New York (4 years as a provisional civil servant, 4 years as a consultant to City of NY, and 4 years as consultant from Unisys to New York State supporting the City of NY) an era comes to an end this Friday. I have spent years working as an IT jack-of-all-trades for Management Information Services, some of the titles included Senior Network Manager, Citrix Enterprise Engineer and Technical Liason just to name a few.

Well the blog had gone quiet for the last week or two, I was very busy with my current project, but in the end that wasn't why I haven't blogged. The main reason I haven't blogged is that my site was almost inaccessible, it was offline more often then it was online. I was hosted by GoDaddy.Com, and tonight in about 20 mins I moved the site over to HostMonster.Com, it took longer to upload the files and modules that make up a Drupal install then it did for DNS transfer, hosting account creation, database creation, and anything else I am forgetting.

I am feeling that this poor blog is not getting the attention it deserves, so here I am back blogging at almost 10pm on a Thursday night. So what has me sitting here and blogging, well I just got home from a NJ Web Design Meetup and realized that I had alot to say ( ok so I never shutup) and I haven't been saying it.

Wow I have spent hours of fun getting new domain names, but luckily I can now say that RobbieTheGeek.com, RobbieTheGeek.net, & RobbieTheGeek.org all are owned by yours truly and pointing to this very blog you are reading :) . All I can say is it is pretty painless when you can go to GoDaddy.com and less then 2 hours later you have the domain names being forwarded to a completely different spot on the net.

I am new to the blogosphere, and all this but I am a big techno freak to the point that I have dubbed myself Robbie The Geek. So this is where I will talk about all the goodness that I find interesting within the various technology areas in my life. A little info on me: 30 year old, recently married, chubby technophile who makes a living as a Citrix Administrator and needle-in-a-haystack problem solver for the city of NY. My wife is a full time theater student here in NJ, you may not be aware but that means she is on-campus from 9am-10pm on the regular.
