Hello, everyone! Welcome to TechJolt. This site is a spin-off from jdsnow.net and lifeonsnowhill.com. I found on my other blog that I had somewhat of a split audience. One group reads my blog for my personal updates, whether the posts be about politics, religion, or simply how my week has gone. The other group is more interested in posts I write about technology, whether it’s software, OS’s, some cool new piece of hardware or anything else tech-related. Of course, both groups are free to read whatever they want of what I write, but at the same time I thought it’d be more convenient for both groups if I were to split things up. It also gives me a chance to concentrate more on certain topics for each blog.
This is where TechJolt comes in. I won’t pretend that I’m as good as the writers at places like ZDNet or PC Magazine, but I will write about things that interest me. When things interest me, I am much better at writing about them (as most people are, I’m sure). If I simply don’t care, I find it hard to write anything really meaningful about that particular topic. So hopefully, 1) You’ll be interested in at least some of the things that I am, and 2) that the things that interest me actually do cause me to write better so that I won’t bore you to tears.
Soon I’ll begin posting about tech related news, and other things of significance in the tech industry. So sit back and enjoy as content as added, and come back often to check out the new features I’ll be adding to the site.
Jonathan is a self-proclaimed geek who likes pretty much anything tech-related. He is especially into Linux, but is interested in Apple and Microsoft tech as well. Jonathan is also into a little bit of gaming - he owns a PS3 and a Wii, but with his limited budget only owns a handful of games for both consoles.
For money, Jonathan works at a large engineering firm. He works in a datacenter as part of a group of 3 managing about 200 servers (and growing!), most Microsoft, some Linux and about half are virtualized using VMware.
