StarChaser

StarChaser the Once and Future Tech Support Tyger, Enlightener of the Dense, Smiter of ~*.tmp, freelance weirdo on my days off.

As of June 26 2002, ALL my days are off anymore. I got fired for leaving a desk containing nothing more confidential than a bag of potato chips unlocked. So, now I'm looking for work, oh joy, oh bliss, oh genuine rapture.

As of September 30, 2003, I got a job...doing tech support for AOL. Ghod help me.

In January 2006, I told AOhelL to, to quote Frank Zappa, "Ram it, ram it, ram it up your poopchute" and went to Verizon internal tech support. This has been a mostly good thing...

As of Nov 2011, I got moved from Verizon internal to only commercial support. This is...slightly precarious.

And just to help avoid confusion, I'm an American.

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/starchsr was my main page, and

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/starchsr/doofus.htm used to be the Doofus of the Unspecified Time Period, my tech-support venting site, and

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/starchsr/Startyger.htm once was a picture of me, and

StarChaser @ mindless.com still is both my slightly munged email address and according to friends, a relatively accurate assessment.
