[CDBUG-talk] Come give a talk at CDBUG!

[freebsd at fongaboo.com]

Jonathan Capra, aka. Fong

Former DNS Systems Administrator for the long-defunct BiznessOnline 
(previously AlbanyNet). One-part IT nerd, one-part A/V dork.

Changed careers in 2003 when I returned to TV at Capital News 9 (now Time 
Warner Cable News) as Graphic Designer and Promotions Producer (Video Editor).

Still have tried to keep my chops as an 'amateur' sysadmin: Have 
maintained one or more colo boxes with former Biz colleagues to serve our 
own web/mail/DNS for over a decade.

Just finally completed a custom B.S. in "Broadcast Media and Information 
Technology" at Empire State College. Interested in moving back towards the 
IT field (or convergence, ie. IPTV), so career suggestions are welcome! 
:-)
