About my Avatar/Username
:
First off, my avatar is Scooter because unfortunately some ppl insist on using that as my nickname in real life.
In 1991 I first started using IRC. People started constantly stealing my old nickname so I had to come up with something new. I happened to be reading the Stephen King Dark Tower series of books at the time and the lead "Gunslinger" was named Roland. I just added an e to the end to differentiate myself.
I work in the industry
:
I am a Technical Architect for Salesforce.com working remotely out of Dallas, TX handling the global architecture of all network and security infrastructure.
Why do I like broadband?
:
Why would anyone not like broadband? I regularly use it for VPN remote access to work. It makes working from home much less painful when I am emailed large files or have to upload or download large files. I can do twice the work in half the time. Not to mention I can host my own Linux server at home now to run my DNS, email and website etc. off of.
I have a website also!
