My name is David, Ive been actively involved with the IT industry for about 16 years now, but have been using applied technology and computers for a very long time . I frequent many online forums including, but not limited to: Deviantpc , [RIP] xtremeresources.com , xtremesystems.com, overclockers.com, digg.com, jinxforums, and quiet a few more . I no longer own my IT firm, and am now serving as the Director of IS at a new national firm that specializes in Loss Mitigation and Law. I have served in the ARMY, which helped me go to college, where I earned two Bachelors and recently my MS-CS with an understudies in Computer Security. I still (but much less frequently) write articles and perform reviews for several large syndicates, websites and media broadcasters. Well when I have free time, my hobbies are: Hiking, streetbikes, choppers, porsches, rock climbing, ice climbing, camping, fishing, spear fishing, skydiving, computers, technology, photography, movies, techie gadjets, tattoos, watching Man vs Wild (Bear Grylls is the shit!) , exotic cars, drinking and work are all my interests, and Im sure I missed a few there. Im currently grounded in California… but Id rather be in Dubai…

Hello
I’m interested what systems/OS you use.
Great space btw.

Heya Tomovich,
thanks for the comment
. I use all OS’s pretty much, linux (Slueth, Knoppix STD, SuSe 10.1, Dreamlinux, unix, Mac OS 9, Mac OSX, Windows XP pro, Windows XP media center ed, Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Tablet Ed. Id have to admit, that SuSe 10.1 and Knoppix STD, are probably my favorite OS’s, followed by Mac OS x, then Windows XP, and the only reason I use Windows Xp is for gaming pretty much, and a few apps here and there. As far as systems, it’s been a long while since Ive upgraded my systems, it seems like the whole “upgrade every 6 months” has died down, my main rig is a Prescott 3.4c overclocked to 4.6ghz, 4gb DDR550 Corsair XMS 1:1 , with x850xt pe vid card, SB Xfi, 4xWD 74gb Raptors RAID 0. Thats pretty much for gaming. I use a Macbook pro for all mac apps, and I think Ill end up getting a Intel Mac Desktop system soon as well, since Ive been pleased with Macs since I picked up my old powerbook about 2 years ago.
Sweeet site! As an old hand in unix I would have to recommend that users who feel a need to change, to give ubuntu a try. A free OS shipped to you for free.
Hey David,
This is Ryan. I met you at IKEA while we wait 9 years to get our replacement parts. I’ve been nice and busy with my kid, but i just wanted to drop a line. Nice little site you got going on here. Sorry about all the junk youve been going through, but as im sure you know, what doesnt kill us makes us stronger. When the pain subsides you will realize that challenges in your life that you used to struggle with, will now be blown apart by the strength you have achieved. And those around you will be supported and pulled up by the pillar of strength that you will become.
Look forward to waxing intellectual with you, we had a good discussion there in IKEA. Drop me a line.
Have a nice day !
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH WGATRAY.EXE. I READ ADVICE ON HOW TO GET RID OF IT. IT INVOLVED REGEDIT ETC. AND SEEMED TO REQUIRE A NUMBER OF RESTARTS (MY COMPUTER TAKES FOREVER TO REBOOT). I PULLED UP THE TASK MANAGER, CLICKED ON THE PROCESS TAG, LOCATED WGATRAY.EXE… I RIGHT CLICKED WGATRAY, AND SET THE PRIORITY TO LOW. I THEN RESTARTED MY MACHINE. I HAVEN’T HAD IT REAPPEAR SINCE.
