Welcome to my IT Documentation Library

After two decades in IT, I’ve encountered everything from quirky systems to those elusive “Hail Mary” fixes. This site is my personal stash of lessons learned, processes refined, and solutions discovered.

Inside, you’ll find real-world documentation covering routine troubleshooting and those late-night, trial-and-error moments. These are the hard-earned insights I wish I’d had back then—and now they’re here for you.

If you’ve been in IT long enough, you know the drill: you hit a rare issue, find a fix, and then months later, it’s déjà vu. Hopefully, this library helps you avoid that cycle.

Your feedback is always welcome. While I refer to these as “best practices,” they’re really just the most effective, realistic solutions I’ve found for the challenges I’ve faced.

Take a look around, and feel free to share your thoughts.
