About

Hello there!

This is Jimmy, your host and guide to the wondrous interweb! I am a working stiff -- a network engineer by trade. I've been a technocrat for a long time and worked for companies like Nvidia, Boeing, Chrysler Aerospace, Cisco, and well, you get the picture. Pretty boring stuff to most people. These days I work as a contractor with my duties lasting anywhere from six months to two years or more.

USMC, Triathlete, Martial Artist, great dancer, love Mexican food and senoritas too.

I share the web space with Thomas Stone, an old friend and author extraordinaire. For variety, we sometimes bring other blog authors aboard. If you're open to the possibilities, contact me and I'll give you blog access. Or maybe just print whatever it is you have to say. Watch out, I'll make you famous.

So what's with the pic of Set? Set was my callsign within my team until I retired. As in, Ready, Set, Go. Simple enough. TommyBoy is fond of the Egyptian motif.

Anyhoo, enjoy your visit, buy a book from TommyBoy when you get the chance, and don't forget to remember!

    TommyBoy and I are not the same person. 12 years back, he asked me to help with his blogs while he recovered from heart surgery and I reluctantly agreed. Since then, I've caught the blogging bug and so here we are. Both TB and I are real people. I'm in Nevada but TB is in the Ozarks. We met in a Dallas do-jang mid-90s where he literally gave me an ass-kicking in a full contact match and we've been friends ever since.
