Welcome to my blog. I am the Technology Support Specialist for the Alumnae Association. My title is a little misleading, because it suggests that I am a "specialist", but I am actually a jack of all trades related to "technology" which has become a rather broad category. I administer the local area network at the Alumnae Association office in Mary Wooley Hall, as well as, maintain the web server; update, repair and replace computers and printers; train staff on the use of software and hardware, photograph events, and do pretty much anything else there is to do related technology.
This purpose of this blog is to offer my experience, knowledge and opinions in the form of suggesstions, reviews, how-tos, answers to frequently asked questions and discoveries regarding software, the Alumnae Association web site and technology in general. You the reader can comment on my articles and ask additional questions.
As for my background I have been using computers for a while. My first computer was the Texas Instruments TI-99/4a in the early 80's. Although I do have a Bachelors degree in Philosophy/Religion and Social Science with a concentration in Psyschology from Flagler College in St. Augustine, I have worked as a Technical Support Specialist and Knowledge Base Developer for Sony Electronics and Yankee Candle Company before arriving at Mount Holyoke College a year ago.
