The Blog of Wolfanger. Don't expect anything insightful here (or much in the way of spell checking). It’s more of a demonstration than anything else. And a place to complain… oh, that’s what they’re for, aren’t they?

Small Intro

Since this is more of a place holder than anything else at the moment you're not going to see much. I'll just tack things on to the end as I feel like it.

I live in Niagara Falls, NY, work in Buffalo and I'm starting on this in a hotel room in Rochester since there's not much else to do while not in class (NetWare CNA). Surprise, Surprise I work with computers.

My name? The Wolfanger part came from my ancestors from the town of Kannesweiller, Germany (Anyone know where that is? Can't find it on a map). Heinrech Wolfanger was born in 1750 and came to Western New York in 1789 so that's as far back as I can go.

Oh, you mean the Sick part. Well it's German, what can I say, it's much more common there than it is here.

I was born in '63 so that makes me old enough to have a twelve year old son who can't get past playing Wolfenstein on the computer instead of "really" learning how to use the thing. OK OK so things change fast and he's doing DOOM2 now and trying out publishing making small newsletters with some of his friends at school. Then again I remember teaching him originally how to boot an XT with a floppy.

Over the years I've worked at a 7-11 (at 15), an auto-shop, shot photos, did auditing, worked at a steel shop, played in a German Band for 12 years, fenced, and finally work now as an IS Network Technician. I get to play with (and fix) a whole bunch of computers on a network.
