As an IT professional with over 12 years of IT experience in a broad range of disciplines, I find myself having to come up with ways to accomplish a given task. You’ll hardly find an IT professional that knows it all. Yes, you might come across a techie guru who might think they know it all, but in most instances, when they say they need to perform some tests or analyze the problem, they are likely going back to their desk and looking at notes. Or better yet, use Google.
I have plenty of notes on a variety of subjects. When I need to get something done, I usually do the research and write-up a summary of what I did to perform a task. My documentation system was pretty ‘old school’. I used a series of file folders which were labeled with categories (i.e. AD, ASP, SQL, CSS, Network, etc). Is this effective, yes. Is this efficient, no. I mean c’mon, this is the 21st century.
So, I’ve taken on the daunting task of creating a blog of all my notes and techniques. I do this primarily for myself, but also for the general IT community who could benefit from my experiences. This will be a slow process as I will add to this blog as I write new notes. Time permitting; I will add my existing notes.
