Greetings,
Let’s see. Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my all time favorite movies. I have
others, but that just sort of came to mind. Been doing Linux for quite a number of years.
Actually started with FreeBSD in my very first IT gig. Fedora was my go to for quite a few
years until a friend tempted me with Debian, Knoppix I think it was.
At my last place of employment I found myself contributing a lot to the corporate wiki.
Really enjoyed it. I had the opportunity to write up a lot of different sorts of IT
related docs, from disaster recovery to how to manage the IP phones.
But I think I really got the bug after helping to review and update the company security
policies as part of the annual security audit. Who’d a thunk that rewriting and revising
for conciseness and clarity could be so satisfying?
Anyway. Presently, I’m between gigs. Been taking this time to explore technical writing
more seriously, working through a couple tech comm books, practicing writing generally,
and looking into some of the tools of the trade, like DITA and AsciiDoc -- which I have no
idea how to use just yet. The whole idea of a document tool chain is pretty wicked
though.
Recently I came across the beginners resource post on the relevant subreddit, and here’s
me. Looking forward to helping out however I can.
Cheers,
