Time for change?
-
Well - I suppose it's time to fess up. A few might know this,.. but likely not many...
It is with sadness and regret that as of 03 August 2018 I will no longer work full time for NTG.
I started 06 April 2015, and in this short time have worked with some great people and learn a good bit. I like to think of myself as previously thinking and working outside the proverbial box, and while I still believe that, I have come to do more outside of that box - things I previously would not have had the chance or the skills to do so.
While curious moving to Linux - I was against it,.. pushed by the 'Corporate World' and the main stream system. But now three of the four systems I run are Linux only, the fourth being dual boot with Windows - mainly to play one or two games. I work easier in SSH and via command line on both OS platforms than previously.
While my official time is coming to a close, I am still making an effort to continue to work with the NTG family; @scottalanmiller, @Dominica, @pchiodo, and the rest of the great staff.

Yes, I will still be in IT - because IT is where it's at.

I am actually looking at starting a furniture business with my Dad. Making custom furniture. We are starting it in my spare time and hopefully can move to it full time in about 10 years.

Good luck on your endeavors! Enjoy the ride.

It wasn't an easy choice - I gained quite a bit coming to NTG. I won't fully realize what I am leaving for a while I would wager.

Are you a Linux sys admin in your new role?

Are you kidding me? I'm not even 20% of the famed @scottalanmiller level... so - no

You didn't really talk about your new job function and you mentioned Linux on your thread so I just made an assumption.

Best of luck in your future endeavors!

https://mangolassi.it/topic/17796/looking-for-senior-it-adminsThanks - that appears to require a relocation - which I am unable to do. Thus far - pretty happy with things,.. as I still get to visit ML, and work with NTG - though not officially on the payroll anymore. I still help @pchiodo, @scottalanmiller and all out when I can / they need.
