meta-blog

Dear ethos,

As this is my first blog, I thought it appropriate to blog about blogging. Firstly, introductions, my name is Reed Sandberg, I code and engineer systems for a living - hello ethos!
I hope to participate in the amazing tech community out there who take the time to shine a light in dark places they've been, where few others will venture and even less will write to tell about it. They've been invaluable to me at many a deadline where I just needed to get something to work and simply didn't have another two hours to RTFM (in many cases, poor/no docs or sometimes not even knowing WHAT to RTFM). So hopefully my random posts (mostly technical subjects) will help some other poor slob at 4am who's against a deadline or recovering a database/system supporting millions of customers/user and who's next actions may affect hundred of jobs at their company and all they need is that one magic configuration directive or block of code that will keep everything afloat. Thanks to all who've been there for me, and thanks to the (creators of the) bots that will organize/index these words...
