xtgo.net

Welcome to xtgo.net, all things techy.  Background: I’ve found that since I started my career that’s it’s often been very difficult to find the answers that I need on, what I feel, should be simple technical questions.  Google results, however are getting increasingly cluttered, and sometimes getting the technical answers that I require often means researching for hours on end, filtering through buttloads of message boards and forums reading the same thing over and over:

I have a problem, blah blah, and this is the error message I’m getting.  Help!

And then I read this:

I’m having the same problem.  Anybody seen this?

Same here.  This is what I tried, blah blah.  But it didn’t work.  Anyone have any ideas?

By the time I get to the end of the forum… I usually find that it’s just people repeating the issue and never posting a solution.  Well my plan for this blog is to only make a post when I’ve found a solution.  The posts will, of course, be open for questions and comments, but there won’t be any lingering answerless questions here.

I also, in addition to answering technical questions, plan to write about upcoming or current technical issues as I feel led.  My intention is to pull the techy articles out of my personal blog, blog.xtego.com.

So there you have it, xtgo.net is underway, providing technical answers to technical questions, technical articles and technical commentary, and basically just all things techy.  And really, you don’t get much more techy than ‘hello world’.
