Windows (XP+Vista) makes up 96% of users
IE 6, 7, 8 make up 87% of users (14%, 55%, 18% respectively)
Firefox is 11%, Safari at 1.6%

(Stats approximate - usual web log analysis constraints)

Why this Blog?

I write a lot. I write to get my head around a subject. I write about technology I figure out and use. I write "how we're going to do things" in email and documents to provide advice, guidance, policy and leadership for IT. At some point I realized that most of what I wrote was not proprietary and I was repeating myself as new people joined the team and repeating similar situations. So while my postings are mostly just common sense, it does help me figure things out, give me a stock set of thoughts and "how-to" for future reference and maybe even someone else might find value in them as well.

Views expressed on this website are my own and may or may not reflect the views of my employer.
