These technical tricks, tools, and maintenance routines, are generally intended for technical individuals who have a base understanding of the materials listed below. If you find them going over your head and/or time availability, then you might want to get appropriate skilled assistance. Rates for my time for consulting services are available when we meet.
These were originally written for my colleagues in various organizations and as such are written with differing focuses matching the material and the persons aimed for.. They are all my creation as a way of documenting all the basics, for both as a reminder for myself and to share with others.
Note that even though the data may appear dated, they do generally represent the basics that the future is built on. As I am of the philosophy that raw steps/understanding is better than none, some documents will be rather raw until we get around as this is my work in progress ares. Completed/polished documents will reside under Konecny Consulting, while copies here may have additional edits in progress.
