Ok, so maybe the star date was a little over the edge, but you know what, so am I.
Here in my blog you will hopefully find a good amount of useful information as well as some not so useful. To get an idea of my past, look for my resume. I will post it when I get a chance. It may not look that good pasted in here but you will get the picture as far as what my background is.
To the present, I am working for a robotics company which makes robotic forklifts. That's right, forklifts that drive themselves. Our big claim to fame and that we designed and patented a navigation system for robots where we take stereo video and transform the video into 3d blocks which the robot software can use for navigation and functionality. Basically we the eyes and visual part of the brain. So why forklifts? Because in logistics and supply chain, you have a very simple goal: Move x amount of y product in z amount of time. Of course we are doing some side things which are really cool but will be left out of this blog. If you want to know more about it, check out http://www.seegrid.com/
So what am I doing at such said robotics company? I am managing the I.T. infrastructure of the biz. We have a lot of UNIX and some windows. My main goal for my first half of the year working here (July-Dec 08) is to revamp the company infrastructure. Most of the work deals with installing Windows Server 2008 and Exchange Server 2007. With these we will be tying in central authentication to our Active Directory for all our Linux and mac servers and desktops. For now you will find most of the info about this project related battles with Microsoft.
So sit back, enjoy and feel free to contact me any time.
