It’s-a me, Mario!

Hi,

My name is Mario a.k.a. McFiscH. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I’m a SysAdmin, a DevOps Engineer, a Geek, a Casual Gamer, a Casual Musician, a Woodworker - oh, and a Dad and Husband as well, so there might be a pun or a dad joke appear here or there in this blog. And since I’m German, they may even be more terrible than one would expect…

Mostly I want to write about very specific issues I have to solve with all the gadgets and tech at home and at work (as those are usually the issues I can solve - unlike those with the kids, for example). Many of these (the tech issues, not the kids) will be something that arise from special circumstances that make it harder to find solutions online, so I hope mine will help others, too. Some may grow off situations where I’ve gone wrong at some point, but was too stubborn or just incapable of acknowledging my own failure, doing what many Germans excel in: “keeping to ride the dead horse”.

Some of the posts will be about woodworking projects, which I have (or may not have yet) finished, as this is another thing I like to do but don’t have as much time for as I’d would like to.

And sometimes I’ll use this blog as a scratch pad to scribble down something that I need to remember, and that would normally fit into, let’s say, a wiki - but I don’t have one, so it goes here.

However, I hope you enjoy what you see here, come back any time!
