My favorite past time

You know I hate signing on to my computer because everytime I sign on, hours go by before I realize that I forgot to do something.  If there is something that I was supposed to do it is forgotten.  This is a love hate relationship[ that I have going on with my computer.  The weird thing is I am not on one it usually is two or more.  With this security class every project that is at the end of the chapter I try them on all the computers in the house.  My son wants to use his computer and i'll tell him he has to wait until I finish running all this new stuff.  Then I will go to my mom's house and start working on her computer and my brother's. From there I go down to my mom's church and help out with backing up there computer and trying to assist them in getting the most out of the applications they use.  And to top it all off I have a few clients that actually pay me to do what I like to do.  Solve problems.  To me computers are more fun when they don't do exactly what you want them to.

Introduction of Andre Royal

I would like to offer my apologies upfront for all the mistakes that will surely come.  This is my first introduction the to the blogging world.  I am from the old school of the computer world back before there were desktops that now contain all the niffty software applications like Microsoft Office.  I wrote programs that created the forms in which the data entry clerks used to populate databases.  Back when you walk around with a box of computer generated cards that had to be loaded into a card reader to run your programs called JCL cards.  Please do not drop them because your order will be lost and trying to put them back together was mind blowing.  This is a wonderful age in which we now live.  I truly can appreciate the new technology and advancements that have been made.  I look forward to sharing some more of my ancient war stories with all of you.
