Greetings from Atlanta

**madhorizons** · **09-30-08, 12:28 PM**

Hello all...i didn't see a standard format for intros...so here ya go.

My name is Izzie and I live in Atlanta, GA. I'm 34 y/o, former military, and the proud parent of two boys, aged 9 & 11.

My career I am a UNIX system administrator as well as a network administrator.

By hobby, i'm a technogeek in several areas, one of which is audio (which started by playing live music and doing studio recording) engineering. I also play guitar, practice martial arts, doing forum & website administration, etc. I also do video production & VFX.

I bit the bullet due to finances and ended up with a Vizio 46" LCD. I like it so far. I know a LOT of people frown on this brand, but it's what I have and what I could afford. I have NO complaints about it. I've hooked up a HVX200 HD Camcorder to it and the image is pristine and I actually like it better than some of the other brands out there i've hooked the same camera to. But I digress...everyone has what they have and that's to no fault of the owner.

I look forward to interacting with you all...i've skimmed a bit and I like it and foresee a lot of time spent here :-D

As a fellow techno-geek, former system admin, part time webmaster, and journeyman custom installer, I welcome you aboard!

No standar format for intro ... just say Hello and you're Welcome

If you're happy with your TV and that's all you can afford today ... that's what it counts

You'll have plenty of time to upgrade everything

Thanks! and we are happy with it. My last HDTV was a 32" CRT....which we loved...just wasn't big enough for the new place (apartment was fine).

Glad to be here....i'm already addicted to the forums....and the HT gallery.... you guys are amazing

Greetings fellow admin!

Do you stick to one flavor of Unix or is your shop a hodge-podge?

Guess it depends on which shop.

Work is like this: Solaris 10 with Oracle & Fedora with MySQL & PHP
Home is OS X/Darwin for video FX & editing and Slackware (probably next install = Ubuntu) for hosting & gaming (WoW on WINE)
