Joseph's Story
Life
After High School, I went to UC Irvine for awhile. I was a physical science major and minoring in Latin American History.
UCI was a major schock to me. The campus was very very boring. Those that know me knew that I was a big time raver. When the weekend would come around, I would be bouncing off the walls trying to find something fun to do in Orange County. I don't know if it has changed since then, but the Orange Country nightlife blew!
Interesting enough, I never really followed a career in my major. Somehow I got hooked on computers and stuff, and ended up with a career as a computer geek. So far, I do a little bit of everything when it comes to computing. I work on PC's, can configure Cisco devices (mostly just routers and PIX firewalls), and program in ASP, PHP, and Perl. I can also write a mean "hello world" program in C (I really need to pick that up again). Mostly, I do network stuff. Lately though, I have been doing more web related work in ASP and have been working with databases like MS SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL. If I have to pick a favorite ope...Expand for more
rating system it would be a BSD operating system. Linux blows! :p
I'm currently married, and have 2 step-daughters and 1 7-year-old son. I don't plan to have any more kids. One son is enough for me. Kids require alot of time and attention. I don't know how other people have enough time to devote to multiple children. To be honest, I wasn't exactly thrilled when I learned I was going to be a father but now he's my pride and joy. He's definately a chip off the old block.
I've had pently of ups and downs since High School, but luckily things leveled out. I've been at my current job for the past 7 year or so. I like stability. It's a decent company, but sometimes I do wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. But for now, I'm happy here.
Sadly, I still live in Downey. I know most people have moved away, but Downey is still my home and I don't plan to leave (at least not willingly). Well, I have tinkered with the idea of moving away but with all my family here I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
So there you have it, that's what's currently up with me.
