Who Am I

Background

I've worked as some person who tinkers with tech, mostly fixing a problem here and there or building new systems in the classic sense of plugging firewalls into internet connections, building windows servers, desktops and laptops...

Mostly I've been learning from other people's mistakes.

Why Chiefeh?

Well, I took my gaming nick-name from the character Chief Miles O'Brien from Star Trek (TNG and DS9). Long before solidified my career working in technology|engineering I found myself fixing things that others had broken, and thus have come full circle.

What is this site for

Its about time I started doing what I normally only get to talk about. I've not written HTML beyond the quick hack to test a webserver, so to focus on writing and saving content with out focusing on the base infrastructure, I will host the site on GitHub Pages, using MkDocs and Materials theme. You can see the source code for this site by clicking on the link in the top right of the page or here.

Maintaining a consistent approach

I've found that future me has always thanked past me for doing things the same way in regards to approach or patterns of behavior. Being consistent allows work to be completed faster (or probably less focus on documenting things).
