Hello world, this is my first blog. Not just my first blog here, but my first blog ever. So allow me to introduce myself, I am Matt Lewis. I work for an IBM hardware reseller. I am a IBM “System P” certified technical expert. I work on large IBM systems, and specialize in virtualization administration. I also enjoy camping and boating with my family (wife and 4 kids).
I also have an alter ego, penguinbait. Penguinbait was a made up name I came up with years ago, and I bought the domain. It was purchased to be a Linux newbie site, but I never really used it for that or attempted to create it. Its running on my cable modem (comcast) so its not real reliable. Penguinbait.com hosts files and services for my home and my projects relating to Nokia Internet Tablets. I have developed several little hacks for the devices from cloning tools to full KDE/Koffice suites. Penguinbait is also my username on many of my online accounts. Penguinbait is known to hang out at Internettablettalk.com and #maemo on Freenode..
So what am I blogging about “FUD and confusion” FUD in all its glory. What is FUD? “Fear, Uncertainty and doubt” FUD is used in technology reseller environments, where sales people will try to scare people into buying a product. Its also used to scare/manipulate people for political gain. Its also used to keep employees in line. So many uses!!
So what you will find here is my opinions about technology, life, family, politics. I also tend to be quite passionate and obstinate, so if I am pissing you off, feel free to not read my babbling…
