This is the first of many posts here at my new site. I've decided, with a little push from a good friend of mine, to create a personal web site for myself. Let me start by giving you a little background. I am a systems administrator and website designer by trade and I run an IT consulting firm called Fossit Solutions (www.fossitsolutions.com). Fossit is a pseudo-acronym which loosely stands for Free Open Source Software Information Technology and I believe that gives you a good idea about the area of IT that I focus on. Whenever possible I try to leverage open source technology because I believe commodity software should be free (as in beer and freedom).

I have been helped tremendously in the past by bloggers who post about setups and fixes for various open source technologies and that is what I plan to do here. As I work on new projects and try new software I will write about my experiences and hopefully the few people who happen by my humble little page can gain some information from it.

Thank you for visiting my site.
