I created a "speech" almost four days ago while I was in a training centre in the UK, I tried posting it a couple of times but I was a bit unfortunate to hit technical problems on the ITRC.
For those of you who do not know me, here is a partial story. I'm 36 working for a Dutch based non-profit organisation in the middle of the Netherlands. I live in a small village near the German border in the south-east of NL. Sports specially diving, skiing and Italian cooking (bayleaves :-) are the things you can wake me up for. I studied economics with IT as a second choice. After school I got a job in an IT consulting firm and followed a 6 months training path for all kinds of OS's and software solutions. Until 98 I've been working as a HPUX system administrator and until know as both HPUX and Solaris admin. When I accepted my latest permanent contract in 2000 I was a bit worried if I could manage to keep up to date on both platforms. During some google searches I found the HPUX forum and I was pleasantly surprised by the enormous amount of good information and the dedication of its members. For almost a year I only read threads and searched the database for answers.
I would like to thank a few people if you are not getting bored :-)
