Brewing Your Own Beer

Several years ago, my Dad really, I mean, REALLY wanted of those "Make Your Own Beer" kits. At the time, my area wasn't exactly "culturally aware" so finding such a thing was a challenge (this was before the internet). I made it my goal to make this his Grand Christmas present.

Laughter, The Best Medicine

Perhaps I Am Just Too Easy

In my capacity as a Network Administrator, part of my job is to setup and configure the computers that my co-workers use to do their jobs. These can vary from Graphic's Workstations to a simple Q&A setup. My company is pretty loose about allowing people to work from home on occasion. So, by extension, I have a standing offer to all of my fellow employees that if they would like me to, and if I have the time, I will setup their home machines to mirror their workstations as closely as possible. This allows me to ensure that their machines have current virus protection as well as any updates for the OS. I can also make sure that they have legal copies of any software they might require to perform their job functions. And considering that we have VPN access to the network for all employees, this policy makes sense as a measure to reduce the chances of a virus or some other security risk is not introduced onto our network.
