About
This page / blog / site is simply a collection of mostly useless info for anyone other then me. My name is Dane. I reside in Lafayette, Louisiana. I have spent the last 15 years of my life working as a network engineer / administrator for various companies around the US. I have lived in many places and worked in many more. One constant in my life has been what I do for a living and I am very grateful for that. It’s really nice to do what you love and love what you do and make a nice living from it.

IÂ have never been to keen on broadcasting who I am over the internet. Â Not because I am special or important or have anything to hide but I know how easy it is to divulge too much personal info and how there are those out there who like to harvest that info for nefarious reasons.
As of late I don’t even share who my employer is because for one they frown on employees blogging. Â If people know who you work for and you blog an opinion piece well all too often people assume your opinion is some how that of the employer as well. Â The primary reason for me not sharing who exactly I work for is that people will assume I am biased about some things because of who my employer is.
My own personal perception of most people is that they tend to believe everything is black and white. I say this because they will often pick a side about something and then you to have to as well. And if you don’t pick their side well your the evil enemy.
