Simple is a relative term. You can take the tips here and make your report as simple, or as not-so-simple as you’d like it to be. The basics will stay pretty much the same, but your needs and creativity can make it as extraordinary as you’d like. Having worked with the UNIX/LINUX (*NIX) shell...

Theme Change
I decided I didn’t much care for pictures on my site, that is, the ones that were not included with the articles. So I decided to change my theme up a bit. The font is a little smaller, but I think it reads better. If you care to leave me a comment, let me...
VCAP-DCA and my impressions

Things I Want to Remember
