Blue Wolf's HowlAdventures in the world as told through the Howl of Blue Wolf. Metaphysics, photography, poetry, comics and art.Little Update- December 21, 2007 Already today I used some of the things I read in the Visio book. I was called on to troubleshoot a problem with an HP chassis - which had a number of very confusing and intricate connections. As part of the troubleshooting, I realized that a picture would benefit the discussion. Very quickly I popped off a diagram. Of course it was more of a conceptual diagram than a technical one - and used rectangles to represent the chassis and also the switch to which it was connected. I used callouts to...http://www.bluewolfspirit.com/blog/2007/12/little_update.html The Little Things- December 18, 2007 Everyone knows that it's the little things that can trip you up...

Okay - NO posts in the last few months. Baaaaaaaad blogger. In the interim, I've changed jobs. In some ways, I'm a bit self-conscious about blogging while working in a corporate environment.
