It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
And thus the Journey begins.. should it lead to the bowels of Mount Doom, or maybe the tranquility of the Undying Sea, I do not know. But that's the adventure - the unknown journey of whatever lies ahead. Who knows where it will leads? Experiences, both good and bad, form this journey. They bend the road, twisting this way and that, until you end up at a lit inn somewhere. Maybe you spend the night, have some ale, make some friends, and spend the night. Maybe you do this for a few days. Maybe you spend weeks or years, or maybe you decide to that dusty road again. This is my journey.
Your next question begs, who am I? Who is this storyteller? And why should I read? Personally, I'm no one of consequence. Just an average fellow who's taken a few trips around the shire, and hates to leave Bag End. But every story needs an audience. Even an audience of one will makes the words have meaning. Maybe these stories will help you on your journey as well.
These stories will not be about technical work. There's far more blogs that are more qualified and more experienced than I that can tell you how to put up a DMZ, automate your server scripts, or lock down a corporate environment. Instead, my stories will be about the often forgotten relationships of IT, how it communicates, relates, and interacts with other departments in a business.
In other words, IT is made up of people. Likewise, IT works with people. These two phrases are the basis for my words - an exploration into my experiences between these two relationships.
