ABOUT ME

I’m Ben, Network and Cloud Architect. I love Networks and anything Cloud, it’s my passion, my hobby, my stress release. It’s never just a job!

This site started as a joke from things my colleagues would say. But the more I thought about it the more I saw how useful it could be for me. I decided to create this repository for myself so I don’t have to “Google it”. Plus, it lets me share my findings.

If it’s a network or cloud problem I will figure it out. Better believe it!
I will lose sleep before not knowing something.

Motto #1: “Never not working”
Motto #2: Do more before 9 a.m.
Motto #3: I lift heavy things. If it’s heavy I lift it. ;-)
Motto #4: You always need more cowbell
