• To everyone who knows me, I am the IT guy. I am so NOT the IT guy. I can barely spell the word 'network'. I know that tcp/ip addresses are expressed in dotted quad, and that's about it. So why do they persist in calling me the IT guy? I will tell you why. It is because, to them, what I do is magic. All I do is write text instructions in some language that some computer process knows how to interpret. In many ways, I am just as mystified by computers as they are. The only difference between me and them is that I know what I know, and I also know what I don't know. On the other hand, they know nothing.
