Welcome

Hello and welcome to my new blog. My nickname is Big Fish and I admit that I’m a bit of a geek. As my full-time job, I run the help desk at a local college. As a hobby/part-time job, I work on computers and build web sites.

I’ve built my computer (pictured below) from the ground up and I’m always upgrading or tweaking something. Just recently I upgraded from two 200GB ATA hard drives to two 500GB SATA hard drives. So far, I’m extremely happy with the upgrade. I use one drive for Windows and all my programs and files. The second drive is strictly for backup purposes. I run scheduled backups with SyncBackSE every Sunday. I like that program because it will synchronize specific files/folders without compressing them. If I accidentally delete a picture of my dog, I can just go to my other drive and copy it over.

As I said before, I’m also a part-time webmaster. I run a handful of sites and I love experimenting with new methods of design and promotion. There’s so many aspects about developing web sites that it boggles my mind. I love the thought of “owning” part of the internet and having people see my sites. Obviously, this is my newest creation.

I’m always learning and this will be my new place to document some of things that I think are worth mentioning. I’m going to leave you with a recent picture of my computer…
