Greetings! I’m a geek and I like words. I’m a training developer with Brad Wittman’s training team here at Open Text’s Fax and Document Distribution Group.
If you don’t believe I’m a nerd, consider this. In 1987 I was programming databases for a contractor at the NASA Ames Research Center, and received a small bonus. I knew exactly how to spend it, I’d been dreaming about only one thing for months. I bought a copy of Microsoft Word version 3.0 for DOS and, yes, of course I got the 4.0 upgrade later that year. These days, I have my eye on the HTC Touch Pro 2, arguably the hottest cell phone out right now. iPhone people please do not panic, I said arguably. Either way, I need something new, my current cell phone is from (gasp) April of 2008!
Between 1987 and today, I’ve been a database programmer, a DBA, an IT manager, a C++ programmer, a technology magazine editor, and was even a part-time radio DJ for a year. I have been with Open Text for four years now and I love my job. In addition to writing, I get to work with a lot of exciting technologies on the Open Text product side and on the training content development side.
While I have plenty of blogging ideas, I would toss them aside for reader suggestions so feel free to tell me what you want to hear about. If you have any smart(ypants) phone recommendations, pass them along too.
