Welcome to the PCFella blog, who is PCFella ?
PCFella is me, I have been a PC based engineer since the days of IBM PC's and XT's and have been a site based engineer for the main part of that.
In 1987 I underwent Apple Training and am proud to say that my Apple Passport has one of the lowest serial numbers in the country, although the photo is decidedly dodgy...
I worked for a short while with the Apple dealership in Manchester and later returned to PC based engineering, after 10 years experience as a service engineer I went self employed and ran what was to quickly become a very successful IT consultancy.
As with most small businesses I quickly found that I was no longer a PC fella, I was becoming more of an accountant and customer relations fella, and my annual holidays now seemed only to last Friday till Monday, what I needed was more staff and bigger premises, but this was only going to slow me down, training staff, changing business plans and generating even more business etc.
To cut a long story short I had an opportunistic phone call from an old friend and acquaintance who was now a director in a very successful Mac house, they really wanted to break in to the PC market but while Macs were their forte didn't have the PC expertise to make the change.
I joined as a consultant and soon after I was invited to be a director of the company which I accepted.
These days, the company shares it's concerns between PC, Mac and Internet based solutions, we provide ADSL installations, can perform cabling and infrastructures to virtually any level, provide Server and Workstation sales, firewalls to EAL level 4, Web based solutions, we provide the in-house developed Homebuild website system which you are looking at now. All this and I now get proper annual leave...
That brings us up to date, so from now on in less about how we got here and more about what is going on here and now, I hope the following entries in the blog will be primarily easy fixes to everyday problems but as we go on who knows what will appear in here. If you have any comments - make them, any disses - keep em', life's too short for them.
